Looks like a real oil war is brewing.

"Looks like a real oil war is brewing."

...agreed! And the longer we let it brew, the more loose cannon will contain nuclear weapons. The most insane argument that I've seen in recent press columns is that of "We allowed North Korea to have nukes, so why not Iran?" It's only slightly more weird than the "but Vladimir and Hu only want to make money" argument. People behind such arguments tend to omit the danger of and euphoria behind generalized nationalism (nationalism without reason of good deeds). ...money for weapons for the sake of power.
