LOL, and that import ban law didn't do any good in 70s. Years later we became more dependent on foreign oil.
Excessive protectionist policies from politicians usually prove to hurt more than help.
We'll be better off once they finally allow exports of Oil & Nat Gas.
Plus, the world is better and safer with us being dominant in energy market supplying to the world and taking market share from Russia, OPEC, South America, etc.
Energy & economics is a better weapon than military, while being most peaceful of all the solutions applied.
