A chart from the Economist depicts an interesting correlation between $/Euro & Oil. My limited guess is that the US was predicting a tremendous pressure in the future/strategic supply chain of the oil due to the emerging markets – so it started a war to secure a strong hold/lion’s share on the futures oil supply chain. If you read other reports, we’re already involved in Africa by training certain governments to protect “America’s interest in the distribution of oil”…..there was a report in the news last week. NO we have NOT gone there to support the poor – we just have a presence where there is oil. Reality, as Bush claims it ” we are addicted to oil”.
