................................................................

An intesting possibility in the face of the Bush (neocon) administration's move to dominate the oil countries in the Middle East may be a boycott of American interests there by a combination of deals worked out by Russian, India, and China with insurgencies' (terrorist) destruction of oil production and export to the U.S. in such areas as Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, if it is destabilized, etc. There is, per the grim old saying, more than one way to skin a cat! Were I the Bush administration I would be quite worried about future prospects for American interests. But I am not sure that these guys are really more interested in the national interest than their own (Texas-centered) corporate profits. What is good for Texas is not necessarily good for the rest of the nation to paraphrase Engine Charlie Wilson's assertion of General Motors' interests back when Eisenhower was beginning to warn us about the military-industrial complex, which now seems to be running our American show. Help!
