		And he has been threatening to cut off Iraqi oil shipments -- not as a protest against Israel, but as part of his dispute with the United Nations over terms of a deal that gives Iraq a partial exemption from sanctions in order to sell oil for food and medicine.
		Unlike oil, the gas business relies mostly on long-term contracts, and exporters take pains to avoid stoking customer fears that supplies could be cut off for political reasons.
		The Arab oil embargo, launched in 1973 in reaction to U.S. support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War, boosted oil revenues for several years, but it cost Arab producers market share and failed to stop American support of Israel.

	Iran’s nuclear politics EnergyBulletin.net Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		Iran’s unease extends to a private acceptance that the US has near—total superiority in military power: evidenced by the very powerful fifth fleet controlling the Persian gulf and the Arabian sea, and bases in western Gulf states and in Iran’s north—western neighbour, Turkey.
		The nuclear politics of Iran have recently returned to centre—stage as hurried diplomatic contact between several European governments and Tehran, under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), averted the possible referral of Iran’s nuclear activities to the United Nations Security Council.
		The immediate aftermath of the revolution, dominated by the 444—day hostage crisis at the American embassy, meant that Republicans in particular were vigorously opposed to the Islamic regime from the start.

	Colombia - Government and Politics
		Colombia has a long history of party politics, usually fair and regular elections, and respect for political and civil rights.
		Some analysts of Colombian political affairs have noted that in the 1980s the military gradually began to assume a larger decisionmaking role, owing to the inability of the civilian governments to resolve critical situations, such as the sixty-one-day terrorist occupation of the Dominican Republic embassy in 1980.
		A contradictory feature of Colombia's long democratic tradition is its high level of political violence (six interparty wars in the nineteenth century and two in the twentieth century).

		Powell made a five-hour visit to Haiti on Monday, where he offered the "full support" of the United States for the country's interim leader -- and rejected the idea of having the United Nations investigate Aristide's ouster.
		Waters is deeply immersed in the politics of Haiti, a fact that has raised questions among some conservatives who wonder why she and other members of the Black Congressional Caucus have defended Aristide while his people suffered.
		Waters named Guy Philippe, Louis-Jodel Chamblain, and Jean Tatoune as being among those "criminals." She said they are the ones who threatened to kill Aristide and who stirred up violence in Port au Prince and other cities "where members of the Lavalas Party are found dead every day."

		As both these populous nations come online and continue to industrialize their very large economies the consumption of oil and every other fossil/renewable source of energy is going to the stratosphere.
		Notwithstanding all the political/economic/war disruption in the world(I wonder why it is that only oil-producing countries are in some sort of political disarry or in a war) the price of oil will continue going up even if all that disruption comes to a standstill.
