The divisions are huge within OPEC and weight of the crime of 11th sept has robbed most of them of all political capital what so ever. Russians will step up oil, with spending high and huge commitments none of them has the financial muscle to pull this, Iraqis are joke of the Arab world, the only serious player is Prince Abdullah and Kuwaitis they will never join Iraq, who will save them next time from the Iraqis? Both of them cannot ascribe to this idea, some untoward accident suppose incidental death of a major player in present stand off in Israel and Palestine can lead to some kind of embargo to pacify streets but cutting your oil bill is the best service to US a citizen can do, cut your consumption if embargo talks gain momentum. Don't look at these kisses and niceties, this Izzat Ibrahim behind his smiles has 14 inch long dagger that he will place in the heart of House of Saud at the first chance, the King knows it far too well.All major murders and major killings are conducted in the name of brotherhood with mounting hypocricy. That is how the Iraqi contemporary and 1400 year post Islamic history can be defined. I will say pass this message drive 20 Km less in a day, if 50 million car do that, oil prices will fall even with embargo.. the 74 m bpd global demand can be cut by 10-15% with some little sacrifice. Strong nations make big sacrifices, just cut consumption and let Saddam message of embargo hit on a wall, drive 20 km less every day this is my message to every US western freedom loving person, join your friends in car pools, don't give in to terror and black mail of Saddam..best love to everyone.. On scale of possibility this embargo talk is like 3 to 10..
