Here are couple of interesting items came to my mind as I read today's news:

1) With oil supply dwindling are we ready for a global battle for oil. I am not talking about taking it form inept Arabs or Africans But fights between the most powerful consumers of this black stuff. The main axis of oil would be EU/US/China. Now " Axis of Oil Consumers" that has a better ring.

2) Does it bother anybody that these now mundane daily bombings of Iraqis by US seems to be coordinated with Israel's bombing of Palestinians. Not a day goes by that they are not killing Arabs for one reason or another. Both are saying their targets are based on very accurate "intelligence". Did we invade Iraq on some very accurate intelligence????? No baby, this is still the same story of shoot first and let the lord separate the guilty from innocent later because they (all 450M or so ARABS) attacked us.
