united state 2005
united state. 2005 rethinking the axis of oil
Washington, dc
Can America ever kick the oil habit? Not if congress and George bush have their way, but ground is shifting.
For six decade, one of the few fixed
stars in American foreign policy has been the special relationship with Saudi Arabia. Bluntly put , America has offered military protection to the Saudi
royal family in return for the free flow
of relatively cheap oil from the desert
kingdom. Every president since franklin
Roosevelt has stuck by this deal and the Saudi have mostly done so as
well ,within the opec oil cartel, the
Saudi are usually the voice of moderation.
Alas thing seem to have gone wrong on George
bush ‘s watch . despite has family ‘s famous closeness to the Saudi ruler s ,
oil price have shot past dollar 50 a barrel ,up from barely dollar 10 in 1998 .
the price of gasoline ,which Americans still expect to cost just a buck gallon
, now touch dollar 3 in some place
