“It’s not the control of the spice but the power to destroy the spice that is the real power.”

Were those the words of Planetary Observer Liet-Kynes? Also your idea,dealing with the oil, sounds quite attractive.

Arrakis -- Dune -- Desert Planet

DUNE is one of my favorite novels. Lots of good ideas and insights in those books.
Just wish the US had a Thufir Hawat. A good Mentat is a great thing to have around!
Go Troops! Get Some!

Your right it is from the Novel Dune, but I think some other character said it after Liet was already dead. I also don’t think I have the Quote right but the strategic sense is still there. Also thanks for your support on this Idea, I have been posting it all over in hopes that it will become a meme that will move us in the right direction.
