"Pat Robertson suggested we kill President Lula."? You mean Chavez. Your two suggestions presumes there is a design to get things the way they've got. That's not the way ot works. It is not by design. It is just the cummulative reactions of a group whose interests align. (look the example o Nokia, Ericsson, QCOM, Alcatel, Siemens that eventually caused the USD100 billion auction of 3G spectrum that help the tech collapse) The US government is not that clever. You're overestimating it. Underestimate it and you'd be much closer to the truth. I agree with you that oil has not peaked. Here is another reason: There is a general idea to push China to do a Japan. This would be convenient for Europeans and the US. As you know Japan, in the 30's were lead to believe they needed to get raw materials and markets by force and caused the war in the Pacific. I'm not saying they would welcome another war. What I'm saying is that they could "fish in the muddy waters" and get capital that is spreading more evenly. The CHinese are not falling for it albeit they have this fixation with Taiwan, which is mostly mainland military people trying to have their budget not cut. Now, if oil had already peaked, the Chinese would be trying to secure oil, not like they are doing now, but they would have panicked. They have not. neither India has panicked. (Perhaps they think Ethanol would come to save them, sorry, couldn't avoid it.) About Ms. Rice. Cheney Powell are bad public relations both the way they talk and they way they look. Ms. Rice is good public relations the way she talks the way she looks.
