Put down what you think? Do you think we should use another countries oil? Should we use our own oil and just get out of these countries?

If we used our own oil, it would neither be good for us or the exporting oil countries. One it brings down trade and relations. Two Oil is the main exports in most middle east countries and if we stop buying oil now, it'll ruin their economy. Three the U.S. cannot sustain it's gas demand on internal supplies alone.
Fun fact: Do you think our gas prices are high? Guess what the British pay? Go on guess.

I know the British pay way more then we do that is fact. How much I don't know but I know it;s high. I honestly don't know on this. I think we should use other oil so we can help these poor countires. We give them money and it goes to the people..well almost..some countries don't do that and is angers me.
Now if we use our own oil we will use it up and then who will we turn to? I bet no countries will let us back in unless we strick up a better deal. I really don't know they're both good and bad at the same time. I do think we should try to find some other source of energy other then oil if we can. That can help with both of the problems.

They've already trying to convert to other fuels. Like windpower, hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear power. Like i said, if we stopped importing oil, we'll ruin both our and other economies. But the supply will dry up in time. Ever stop to think that gas, for us, is the least expensive liquid? British pay about 8 bucks for a gallon.

yeah I heard about that. And gas is still going up sad to say.
All I know is that we would have to change our economy if we want a different source of energy.

Well natural gas and oil is never gonna be replaced by only one source of energy. It'll be from all the alternative sources i've mentioned before.
