iraq oil production
Wouldn't this article better fit in an issue of, Stupid Planet? It's one thing to constantly extroll the virtues of IBM on this site - but big oil too?
The issue with all moslem produced petroleum is what is really done with the money. With Iraq destined to be a Shia co-conspirator with Iran I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count. The Sunnis won't influence the politics once they are wiped out. The Kurds, who seem to be the most sane group over there will be subdued eventually and never be allowed to have their own nation.
We may be the great Satan but (our ally?) the Saudis have been pushing Wahabism world wide faster and deeper than MickeyD's ever imagined. That is the key export from the Arabian peninsula - not oil. Do some googling or see "top documentaries" under Islam as a search.
Warmest regards.
