We are the enemy; we follow the wrong religion, we allow our women to flaunt their bodies in public, and so on. They have any number of reasons for hating us. The point is, they want to kill us, and right now they have the money and resources to attack.

There are violent people all over the world; all kinds of separatist groups that are fighting for one cause or another. We don't hear about a lot of them because they don't have the money to make a big bang literally. Well, it's also no secret as to why terrorists based in the Middle East do have the money we're giving it to them! Quite the bit of irony in that, don't you think? We're literally arming the people who want to kill us. That's a bit like the Allies giving bombs to the Nazis.

Yet, what can we do about it? After all, our cars, our industries run on the stuff they have. Without that Black Gold our society would collapse. So, it's for good reason that we're looking to develop alternative energy sources. Wind power, solar energy, nuclear, geothermal, and others hold great promise for tomorrow. Yet, there's the problem tomorrow. What about today; isn't there something we can do today to help ease our dependence on foreign oil?

Actually, there is; and is goes back to that opening statement: fight terror with water. It's not a facetious phrase; the technology exists today that lets you run your car on a mix of water of gasoline. In so doing, you'll reduce the gas you need by fifty percent! Think about that, filling up at the pump half as many times a year as you are now. You'll effectively cut your gas bill in half. When you consider what you're paying at the pump now, that's a considerable sum. And remember, every dollar you keep is one less going to people determined to kill you.

You might think that your one act isn't going to change things. True, but once enough people do the same, that little trickle of water can turn into a mighty river. And then the mighty river of dollars going overseas will be reduced to a trickle. Let those who hate us rant and carry on; just so long as they do so without our money.
