You'll find it in the previous post. I should say that what you and gpowell posted is relevant too. The US government established inadvertently the "seven sisters" world oil monopoly through that arrangement with Iran and other such acts. They had a good reason they thought, and that was national security, the proven threat of world communism led by that mighty economic powerhouse, the Soviet Union. It is also interesting that Der Nyx and LBJ are involved with those noble efforts to smash the commies and raise the banners of competition. Now I hope you guys are starting to appreciate my often stated claim that governments are the entities which enable a monopoly to survive. A monopoly is a transient economic state and will fail from its own inherent inefficiencies. Not if the government steps in to stop it to protect us from the presumed evil it creates. The government effort is always compromised necessarily, because monopolies are legal individuals with rights. The compromise enables the monopoly to persist at the expense of all those who would compete against it. They don't teach you that at the university. It wouldn't be politically correct.
