The holocaust took place on our continent. Nazis was on the european continent. So this was different from leer. This there is consensus on these laws generally. So nobody thinks seriously that in france were going to have laws prohibiting or limiting the way you can draw the mohammed or mock such religion or the other one.

Its occurred despite the Tremendous Energy opportunity and potential in those areas. Despite our no more clause. Despite the pressing need to refill our pipeline. And despite strong opposition from most alaskans. The map that i have behind this is one my colleagues are going to become familiar with because im going to be pointing it out quite frequently. The colors on the map represent those areas that are withdrawn from any Development Opportunity whatsoever.
