The oil issue is a two sided coin.

What other kinds of coins are there?

Hmmmmmmm..... good point.

Well,electronic currency is a coin of sorts?

I heard the electronic trading of oil is spiking the prices too.?

I havn't heard any more regarding this though but I imagine, or I hope that when this president is gone there will be many many insight hearings and investigations!

You know, you have to consider the fact that if the world is going to tolerate letting Iran have nuclear weapons why not let other in the region do so to balance the power? SA is a double headed snake when it comes to relations with the US, but the Arabs and Persians are not brothers.

Electronic currency is binary as well. ;)

Israel already does.

Not as significant as if other Arab states who oppose Iranian expansion and exploitation in the region had the same ability to thwart the nuclear saber rattle.

And Pakistan.

The US wants Saudi Arabia to catch up with Iran in the new nuclear arms race. Otherwise, what is the motivation to give an enigma to Israel the capacity to produce nukes?

Why do so many confuse nuclear electric plants with nuclear weapons? Do so many not know the difference?

It's a much easier step from plants to weapons. This is apparently how India and Pakistan got there.

It is or it was? Technology to avert this ‘threat’ has since been implemented throughout the world (at least until George Jr started making other nations distrust the US).
Nuclear Iran is now the world's #1 problem

Meanwhile, a least fear for nuclear proliferation is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has proven far more trustworthy than other less trusted nations such as Israel. Israel will not even sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty so that Israel can sell nuclear material to other nations. (Did we forget about South Africa? Oh. Israel is a trusted country - not Saudi Arabia.)

How ironic that one would fear nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia when George Jr wants to give India uranium in direct violation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Uranium so that India can make more nuclear bombs. We trust India but don't trust Saudi Arabia?

Unilaterally terminate a world treaty? Where does UT fear that? George Jr has unilaterally terminated treaties so often as to make 'world stability' treaties with the US arbitrary and capricious.
Bush praises "Austrian" troops at "OPEC" summit .
Just another reason why so many American allies are no longer so friendly. Clearly providing support to Israel and India is good even though both refuse to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty. When does the term double standard have meaning?

How did India use (Canadian) nuclear fuel to develop a nuclear bomb? HEU - as posted here over a year ago along with solutions to alieviate that threat. It was posted in The Cellar over a year ago.

I'm just waiting for a revolution in Saudi Arabia and we Pakistan II on our hands.

[sarcasm]Yah, that's gonna be sweet.[/sarcasm]
