Something also left undiscussed with the move from so-called “ideological violence” to more fiscally-motivated violence in Nigeria is a growth in target. The militants now also extort money from wealthy Nigerians – working for oil companies and local business owners – and it is fast becoming an avenue for wealth similar to that of entering the formal political forum.

No matter what the presidents do with Iran, Iraq, and Venezuela, etc., Peak Oil will bite all of us in the ass, and the Manhattan alternative energy project will just make matters worse. Alternative energy is an oxymoron: http://www.peakoilassociates.com/POAnalysis.html

Excellent story. This is the kind of thing we can look forward to during an Obama presidency. He is a diplomat. Someone who talks to people instead of threatening them. It’s so exciting to me that American could move forward to a new beginning starting in 2009.

Great story. How can we help nations mend the scars of colonization and the deliberate realignment of their borders that discourage people from consolidating their power? Why isn’t corporate media reporting this? Well…I know the answer to the 2nd question already.
