Mid-East instability, I just figured it out.
Instablity is caused by war, right?
Mid-east instablity results in high oil prices (the part I understand), right?
Recap: Iraq invaded Kuwait (Gulf War) because they were using slant drilling technology to steal oil, the US ambasador said we would do nothing if Iraq took their affairs into their own hands....................WAR........INSTABLITY.
Years later "bush the lesser" starts America's first "pre-emptive war", the war we have now..............which once again has lead to ................INSTABLITY.
So.................in the mid-east, in the past 14 years there have been two wars in the mid-east which have caused great instablity.
The only question which remains in my mind is why the US government wants the mid-east to be so unstable?
We, the USA have fought (and caused) the only two wars in the mid-east in the past two decades...................WTF?
Gotta have a link.
