Precisely, Diane, you are exactly right. You wrote: " The producers need to be able to depend on each others' sticking to agreements. They need some form of enforcement. Some kind of sanction for cheating." We, the good ole U.S. of A are the enforcers! As I recall, it was Iraq that wanted to raise oil prices and Kuwait's reluctance to do so that was part of Saddem's excuse to invade Kuwait. Also, don't forget Iran's usual stance--anything to milk hard currency from the West--they are always hardliners on price. Gator II
