Reflections
I came across a LIGNET report (Langley Intelligence Gathering Net - publication of CIA, fed to internet) analyzing the problem in the middle east. The problem in Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria are all inter related. They are financed by Iran who has a an imperialist ambition, as probably Darius (Persian empire) has done in the past. If Iran is successful, it would mean its world domination as it would control the oil and oil traffic. Somalia, Yemen near the Gulf of Hormuz are passageway/choke points of traffic of oil tankers from the oil fields of the middle east.
That is how the West see it and against the West domination. That means, this is one reason why oil prices will remain high.
This struggle and threat of war hangs in the air and the jitters send the price of oil sky high.
What do you think?
