I Agree Carol, and my worry is our reaction to that strategy.

The time cant be far off when the powerfull will begin to take what they want in the way of energy resources, without the cover of "spreading democracy" or "world policemen".

Once that happens the vulnerable in our own countries become under threat.

Fascism ...Police state....Dictatorship, all horrors if we dont find an alternative way to live.
People are selfish and rather than face a cut in "living standards " many would settle for piracy and domination of our brothers and sisters.

All this is the inevitable result of "organised society", "progress", technology, but "organisation" of humanity to serve the purposes of our economic system is the most virulent of all.....Ake
