1) Keep in mind that 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
2) President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela routinely refers to President Bush as Senor Peligro (Mr. Danger). Ironically,
Petróleos de Venezuela
, a Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, runs over 12,000 Citgo gas stations in the US.3) We invaded Iraq and by the way things are going I would figure there is plenty of opposition to our presence.
4) The infamous anti US television station AlJazeera is located in Qatar.
5) The people of the Niger Delta where 96% of Nigeria's oil revenue originates are amongst the poorest. Militants have recently attacked the oil production facilities of Shell Oil in that country.
6) Qatar has donated money to the new Hamas government in Palestine. A government the US is attempting to undermine both economically and politically.
7) Iran has also donated money to Hamas, is enriching uranium for a potential nuclear weapon, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has dismissed US calls for cessation of its enrichment program.
8) In a recent event that marked the 20th anniversary of the 1986 bombing raid on Libya by US forces, the nation's official news agency JANA has reiterated its demands for a US apology.
9) The US turned down a bid by the UAE (United Arab Emirates) to manage the operations at several major ports although these same ports are managed by a British firm. The UAE is a strategic partner with the US against the war on terrorism. Hence the denial of this deal almost appears racist.
What does this all mean? Well, I think we'd better expedite our hydrogen fuel research. I tend to believe that its in OPEC's best interest to create strife and animosity in order to raise oil prices. Unless we have a regime change in all the OPEC nations the price of oil will steadily increase. So can someone please tell me when I can drive my Hydrogen powered vehicle?
