More likely it's because many of the most influential
power brokers know that oil production will go into
decline very soon. Cheney knows it (he said so in
1999), the oil barons know it, so probably the finance
banks know it. The government-commissioned Hirsch
Report told explained that we it's already too late to
transition away from petroleum soon enough to avoid
major disruptions.
So the neo-con answer seems to be to invade places
that are crucial to controlling oil supply (even
Greenspan recently said so), and to enrich the fat
cats in the ag industry.

I think that's an overstatement, given our
government's own role in creating the alleged "al
Qaida". Terrorists are the new Communists - the
necessary external threat. Zbigniew Brzezinski has
demonstrated that the game is about controlling world
resources as the human population outgrows its little
planet's ability to sustain it.
