But I was referring to your comment about preventing "wealth transfers to producing countries".

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes

Re: "Boiling Frog" (none / 0)

Oh, I see.

Well, you are right that that doesn't have much to do with Darfur or Zimbabwe. I guess that's why no one has intervened...

No oil=no intervention.

Why, there is oil in Chad... And French and Swedish troops are deployed there. What a surprise.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: "Boiling Frog" (4.00 / 2)

That one was mine. I really don't see any benefit in enriching Saudi Arabia or Iraq through the primary sector.
