On the surface you could probably heap all the blame on BUSH and Co for the cost of oil at the moment. I'll admit that it has caused some instability in the region which in turn would have no doubt placed upward pressue on oil prices.
Whether or not Iraq should have been invaded or not is irrelevant now, I don't really want to start a war (excuse the pun) of words on that issue. I did read the other day that Iraq have now exceeded thier 2003 oil output prior to the invasion. It has not and probably will not have any influence on oil prices.
Iran is the next main issue, they are unstable and I'm not sure if i am comfortable with likes of that Mahmoud AHMADINEJAD having access to nuclear weapons. Why on earth did whoever made this damn planet put all that oil in countries that are run by fanatics, dictators and despots.
Anyway, the other day when camping with a couple of my mates and my brother (who is ten times smarter than me) he reckons that if OBAMA wins the US election then that would probably force Isreal to attack Iran. He also siad that in MCCAIN won the US election then the US will probably attack Iran.
Either way I reckon we will be paying a lot more at the bowser ....
Did I mention that the 4 big oil companies are currently making something ridiculous like 160 million bucks an hour in profit .... that's insane. I heard some oil exploration dude on the radio the other day, he reckons that it costs about 7 or 8 bucks a barrell for the oil to get out of the ground. Some buggar is making huge bucks whilst us mugs pay through the nose .....
My rant is over ......
