I would really like to see the US stand up for a change and flat out tell them NO, we will not pay that much...we will TAKE the oil!!!!

Are you kidding me? No wonder why so many people hate Americans. The price of oil these days has very little to do with OPEC and everything to do with the commodity market combined with the value of the US dollar.

I don't hate Americans

Neither do I but saying that you are just going to 'take' another countries commodity not only disrespects a sovereign state but also goes against the capitalist way of life which the world owes a great deal of thanks to the U.S.A.
BTW - Exxon recently reported a profit of 9.2 billion dollars for the last quarter which is the largest amount of profit recorded by any company anywhere in the world ever! Maybe the high cost of gas lies within the USA.
