Politics isn't working--case in point

Referring to my previous post about not trusting politicians to fix the world, I forgot to mention a case in point: the Democrats folded on the Iraq war and voted for it.

So, if I believe that the war is fought for oil--and I do--does it not make sense not to use so much oil so that I don't give them a reason to go to war? This is just another basis for No Impact Man.
