I really believe that as well. As countries become more populated and their needs grow over the next 50 years those countries who own the sources of power will control everything. The US, the EU, and many others will be second class consumers, a role we are becoming accustomed to more each year.

Bush is an idiot and ...anyway, not the source. By neocons, I mean the group that surrounds him and basically pull his strings. It does seem that a lot of the people involved in our foreign policy were in the area in July. The White House is currently trying to downplay the meetings, but its hard to ignore the coincidence.

Hmmm.....it seems that in order for Georgia to join NATO, it can not have border and territory disputes. So, subduing SO and the other separatist territories are a must for them.

What conspiracy theory are you thinking I believe in? Maybe its the same as yours. Because I believe, like you, that this could be part of the 'new' energy wars to come. But, I also believe that our incursions into Afghanistan and Iraq were too. |

The world is sufficiently complicated to contain both those ideas.

That I do not believe and challenge you to prove your assertions.

Hell if we just wanted oil we would have invaded any numerous other countries with half the armies and a shorter distance at half the cost. Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Nigeria, yea, there is a long list. We only get about 15% of our oil from the Middle East.

My assertions are based on the research I did at the time. I discovered that there were several oil companies that needed a much calmer Afghanistan so that they could build a couple of planned pipelines. The Taliban were getting greedy and wanted a bigger cut of the action. I also discovered that Saddam was planning some sweet oil package deals with China and Russia to be set in motion once he was free of the sanctions. AND he was talking about dealing with euros instead of dollars. I cant say any of that is proof, but it sure did keep me from believing the propaganda we were given. |

The taste is cool, but I love when the big guy crashes through the wall. You know something else I like? Reality. Try it some time.
