1. in the eyes of the Bush admin.,

6. Iraq is a hot front in a cold war between OPEC members

Saudi Arabia is planning to raise the price of oil, then drop it. This would be bad for Venezuela and Iran.

SA wants to eventually drop the price of oil in order to eliminate alternative energy plans.

3. Thom saying that the supr-rich in the U.S. are fearful that we could

return to a situation where wealth is more evenly shared. Chavez is building such a system in Venezuela.
