      If you're a conservative and you believed that the Iraq war was necessary to drive reform in the Middle East, but the war has failed to do that and we need Plan B for the same objective, you want a gasoline tax that will reduce the flow of wealth to petrolist leaders who will never change if all they have to do is drill well holes rather than educate and empower their people.
