What people seem to be oblivious to is attempts at oil takeovers. Like The Chinese Governments' recent attempt to purchase Unocal. Seemed innocoulous enough until you realized that the company CNOOC was really a Chinese state run 'private' company, and that the only real reserves Unocal had were in Indonesia and the 'stans (Uzbeckistan, Afghanistan, and so on). You know, some of the countries around the Chinese sphere of influence.
That would have been, as is said...'a bad thing'. Unless you were Chinese and just bought your first car.
