let me add my penny in the long list of pathetic solutions suggested by rediff--- let all the countries bomb the gulf and arab countries and divide the oil fields among themselves...we have 2 advantages of this you see..first is ofcourse no need to pay for the oil to the arabs anymore..second..not paying for the oil will eventually stop the flow of money to the terrorists as we all knwo all oil money eventually reaches in the hands of terrorist...countries may also consider wiping out the entire Arab nations if they want to get rid of terrorism from world completely...not a bad idea at least better than some ideas suggested by rediff...:)
