I listen to your points with interest Dr Brin, but I just can't get it into my head why GWB and his mates should be so in thrall to this petro-kingdom. What hold do they have over the upper echelons of the US government that would make them act so? What on earth have they got pictures of George doing? Or is money, but from a different Master? I can buy stupid, but disloyal means some driver to make them act so. What is that? Andrew _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
