If we all stop using oil from the Mid East then there wouldnt be enough petrolium for our gasoline, our clothing, our plastics (medical use, computers, tv, ......), and many many many other things that make our lives so damn easy. Look at the effects of the oil embargos against the US that have already occured. And if you are determined to stop supporting their economy you can also probibly trash alot of your clothing, electronics, and many other things that in so way came from their abundant resource. I have nothing against these nations, I do believe that the terrorism that has occured and is occuring is not these nations fault.
You must look at more than what you hear on the tv, like (the once) communist Russia, to Americans it sounded like theworst government but talk to a Russian about it they (any i have talked to) miss the old ways.
Ok enough of my rambling, and I say I hate history class
