Nothing against the other countries that would buy the oil but I'll probably end up paying more for gas then. I drive about 500km a week which is equivolent to heavy driver in Sapporo. Just a few clicks of a taxi driver.

Gee, the US should be doing it's share since they have oil still in the ground!!!

@ Iraq
Iraq at one time, about 22 years ago previous to the Iraq-Iran war was once a heavy employer of Japanese firms and people. The oil years. Also, Japan used to send heavy dredgers for the Suez Canal.

hehe, finally figured out where part of the bubble economy money came from!
