Default SUVs and Terrorism

Ariana Huffington is behind some commercials that will air this weekend claiming that those who drive SUVs are supporting terrorism.

I'm not sure of the exact argument, but I think it's similar to Bill Maher's in his book, "When You Drive Alone, You Drive with Osama" (or whatever it's entitled): driving fuel-inefficient vehicles means more imported oil; more imported oil means more dependent on foreign oil sources; some governments that supply us the oil give aid and comfort to terrorists.

Huffington has sold her SUV and now drives a hybrid. I understand that the local CBS and NBC affiliates here in L.A. will air the ads this weekend, but that ABC has refused.

What do you think: are we immoral if we drive an SUV?
