Should the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge be opened to oil drilling?

It bothers me when people say the environment must be preserved over oil. Oil is what runs this country. The EPA only lets us mine half of our own oil, that's why unfairly invade other countries and kill their people for oil, meanwhile our own troops die in the process. We should be energy self-sufficient, even if a couple of animals and trees must be sacrificed. Either trees and animals or innocent foreign men, women, kids, and our own troops suffer and die.
