One of the best posts I have ever read here.

The United States was very, very close to going to war over the '73 OPEC oil embargo.  That would have been a shit storm of epic proportions. 

Thank you.

You and I are old enough to remember most of this stuff when it happened.

Our ground troops in the Middle East in '73 would have been an utter disaster on many levels. It would take another 15 years of rebuilding before any sane person could even consider it.
