And, as you say, supply isn't a pure economic issue but is decided by politics. Which makes it a national security issue.

Politics which hampers the normal workings of the market.


Jeez do you always edit your responses? I was agreeing with you... oil is not a free market commodity.

Are you going to argue we should make war to force resource rich countries to drill and produce more?

What do you think Iraq is about?

No its not an illusion. The illusion is government action can do better than a free market. We have almost a century of experience with countries trying to do that.

If you think the "oil market" is "free market" then you are more niave than my 10 week old puppy.
