The
New York Times reported
on August 16 that American imports of Saudi Arabian oil increased
dramatically in the past year. This is a concern due to rising tensions
with Iran, Saudi Arabia's bellicose neighbor and the potential source of
a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, the key export point for Persian
Gulf petroleum. Irwin Stelzer
notes at
The Weekly Standard that the story fails to note the key point: Why is America forced to make up this petroleum shortfall?
