Hi Carranza2, <<Tiny Trinidad>> Them are war words:0! (a) Trinidad's natural enemy is Venezuela, positioned 7 miles away, and envious. Trinis get the processing and downstream investments from US and Britain, and processes Venezulan crude/gas. Folks judge Trini democracy, British common law, and the 7 miles gap with Venezuela as desirable features for their money; (b) Therefore Trini boast the largest military force in the region, known as the US army. There is a old base, now used as pleasure boat harbour, repair/fuel bunker and club. In times of trouble, as in WWII or III, the Americans come to protect their oil supply; (c) Trini oil is well know, split 60/40 with the oil companies (Trinis get 60% for just saying yes) for exploitation: tradepartners.gov.uk (d) The exciting thing is not old oil ... but, new gas. Generations worth of exploitation and downstream processing ... investments to start in 2004 ... latinamericangas.com <<BP Trinidad and Tobago added another one trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas to its proved reserves with the Cashima No. 1 well. The well was drilled to a total depth of 13,160 feet in 263 feet of water. Some 520 feet of gas-bearing sands in four formations were encountered by the well>> valve-world.net bg-group.com (e) Trinidad compares OK w/ Brunei, exporting half the energy that Brunei does, but gaining in reserve and daily production, Trinis having a real government, no War on Terror issues, no defense spending issues, better distributed income, and having produced many Miss Worlds and Internationals, along with two Nobel Lit winners. cia.gov cia.gov (f) While I have family in business, finance, law, and government in Trinidad, I do not know anyone in Brunei, and thus will not be able to fix a parking ticket should I be caught DWI down the road. Oops, I forgot about the British common law:0) Chugs, Jay Ref: Message 17113674
