George, Britain IMO is jealous of the success of the former colony , heh-heh.

I would take a contradictory stance to your statement re the Middle East. IMO the US has lots of friends in the Middle East- A whole lot of friends. Take a look at the recent Arab Summit.

Their joint communique emanating therefrom was both moderate and statesman-like. I interpret that to be a "tip of the hat" to the U.S. giving the U.S. more time in order to try and help forge a decent Palestinian/Israeli deal.

Dick Cheney is well respected in the Middle East. If Mssr Bush wins, then look for tighter ties and more economic activity between the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries.

Look too for the U.S. specifically to work to build up the Egyptian and Jordanian economies.... Will the local Islamic fundamentalist radicals try to disrupt this scheme? Yes. However they are swimming upstream against a very strong historical trend toward greater interdependence -a nd interaction- between all regions in the World....

Basically this is good for all of the energy companies that have Middle Eastern links, if you are reviewing your holdings....
