Should the US be energy independent?

Consider that if the US isn't buying up middle east oil, China, and to some extent Russia, will. That will fuel their growth even more than it is now which will make them a more serious threat sooner rather than later. From a national security standpoint, I can see where the "hawks" would want troops in the middle east and also to continue the US dependence on middle east oil.
