The US would have a hard time maintaining NATO if a member could be attacked and not recieve help from the USA. Quite frankly, I don't see why the interest in maintaining a colony that is not economically viable on its own... Agree - but why search for common logic (other than geopolitics) in politics ;-) To recapitualte: Never underestimate British pride. Right! |

And if Argentina's economy keeps going the way it is (down), that oil will begin to look very attractive (especially at $70-$80 a barrel). I think that the real truth is that there's much more oil to be discovered than is admitted. What riles me is the failure of the politicos to recognize that it is time to employ technology to replace fossil fuels. Something comparable to JFK's "Going to the Moon" effort. There just is not a good supply of leaders with testicular fortitude to do what is right... JT (Who thinks fossil fuels could be passé within ten years if...) |
