God bless you brother. I'm trying to remain civil so I will refrain from what I want to say, but let's just say this. If anyone had the kind of money in play to cause the price of oil to go from $11/barrel in 1999 to $135/barrel in 2008 (and order of magnitude increase!!), they would not need crude and desperate tools like terrorism to rule the world. There is an almost innocent niave tone to what you are saying however and I apologize if I seem more cynical.
