George, you have frequently talked about the ME oil producers being puppet-states of the US as if it were a given fact. Got any evidence of this other than your opinions? I have to heartily disagree. Where is our leverage with them? They don't have to worry about military security. If Saddam talks one step over his borders, we squash him like a bug. We know it, Saddam knows it, the Saudis and the Kuwaitis know it. Where is their leverage with us? OIL...10MMBD....$250M a day. Within a couple of years, we will probably have to import 75% of our needs. Where are we gonna get it? They don't have to suck up to us. They are holding all the aces. JMO.
