But it's Government regulations that made the SUV craze in the first place.

Americans like big comfortable cars. People from other countries may find this strange, but the USA is a big country and outside of NYC, public transportation is not that good or popular.

CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Effieciency) standards did away with most large comfortable cars. They were too fuel ineffiecient. However, SUV's are considered Light Trucks, which have much more lenient CAFE standards. To summarize, a station wagon (car) that gets 20 mpg would be worse under CAFE than an SUV that gets 15 mpg.

[Trolling4Dollars]

I found this when I was looking for more information about the Palestinian people. This puts a face to some of the people that we are killing right now. Read it. Learn a little bit about them. Then tell me it's OK to bomb the hell out of that country.
