Man, Having oil is a curse, isn't it? It ends badly all the time.

Oil.. Minerals.. Arable land.. It all equates to fighting over wealth and resources because wealth means power and political and economic influence.

But I think it's important to present these angles to the Darfur equation..

If only so we can, tongue in cheek, accuse George Clooney of waging a war for oil on behalf of the Chinese and Russians.. ;0)
