Understanding Modern Geopolitics: A Century of Oil Wars

Some quick links, hopefully I'll get a chance to write something a little more detailed soon. Just wanted to draw your attention to F.W. Engdahl. He's written a book called A Century of War, in which he's argued for the overwhelming importance of fossil fuels in all major conflicts of the past century, the present day Iraq wars being no exception. You can get a flavour of his ideas in this article entitled A New American Century.

You can also listen to Jim Puplava interview Engdahl here. The interview starts off a little slow but Engdahl is definitely worth listening to, highly recommended.
