Jesus! What don't you understand??? Oil is an international commodity. It isn't "our own oil." If we drill in ANWR, it may very well be more practical use it in Canada or Russia! If we drill off the coast of Florida, it's just as likely to be used in Mexico, Central America or the Caribbean as it is to be used here! What don't people get about that??
