Blinded by the Light
Sometimes the answer is so glaringly obvious we are literally blinded by the light. Scanning through the headlines of Jane's recently, it dawned on me that while Persian Gulf oil might serve as a convenient motive for anti-war propaganda related to the US-led chaos there, it could just as easily be any other strategic Third World resource coveted by the Euro-American alliance.
Perhaps a better question given the more sane and practical method of simply purchasing minerals from their rightful owners, is what do we stand to gain from persistent global destabilization and provocation? If our largest export product is weaponry and armaments, I guess we've long since answered that question.
