Oil Wars?

Not too long ago I was watching the Glenn Beck show. It seems that he is frustrated with the inaction's of our Congressional representatives. Later in the show he did bring out an interesting hypothesis on why the price of oil is going down. He attributes it to a possible agreement between Vice President Cheney and Saudi Arabia. He believes this lowering of oil prices is a plan to cut deeply into Iran's oil revenues thereby wrecking it's economy. If it is true I would agree with Glenn Beck in that it is a brilliant plan. Will it work? I doubt it. The oil corporations are too greedy to sustain such a plan for one and I see a danger in that it may force Iran to military action against Saudi Arabia. At the same time it will act as incentive to Iran to step up it's development of nuclear weapons to push the world into war.

Then again Iran may very well get together with other oil producing nations that are not friendly towards us and cut off the supply of oil. This move would wreck our economy as well as putting a great deal of pressure upon the rest of the world. This could lead to military action also. I come to this conclusion because Iran's leadership wants to and is planning to plunge the world into chaos in preparation for the return of their Mardi. So the way I see it with or without oil money they will work very hard towards this goal.

It certainly looks like the Atomic Scientists are right in moving to hands of the doomsday clock closer to midnight.
