If oil hits $3 a gallon, people will demand that the government focus on domestic problems and the economy.
It will be a sublime irony if Bush's popularity slumps because of oil prices and not because of the Iraq war, since the Iraq war was an attempt to keep cheap oil flowing if the Saudi supply was in danger.
But because other reasons were used to galvanize supprt for the Iraq war the government is now in a curious position of having to continue to fudge the WMD issue and not reap the benefits of the emerging reality.
