"What has happened is that in the last 20 years, America has changed from a producer to a consumer. And all consumers know that when the producer names the tune&the consumer has got to dance. Thats the way it is. We used to be a producer  very inflexible at that, and now we are consumers and, finding it difficult to understand. Natural resources and minerals will change your world. The Arabs used to be in the 3rd World. They have bought the 2nd World and put a firm down payment on the 1st one. Controlling your resources will control your world. This country has been surprised by the way the world looks now. They dont know if they want to be Matt Dillon or Bob Dylan. They dont know if they want to be diplomats or continue the same policy - of nuclear nightmare diplomacy." (1981)
