On the other hand we probably are keeping the Royal Family propped up in a hostile country. I mean, what if we ACTUALLY did want an end to tyranny in the Middle East. (That threat might be worth a couple million more barrels a day). Chipless bargaining goes well with brainless arguing.

Oh, say it's not so! Quick everyone, go through the FA archives, you'll see Adam has rewritten his blog entries to make us commentationalists (and our token Troll) look like a bunch of left-wing tree-hugging oil-allergic LIBERALS! Oh. Ohhhh. Riiiight. (Ahem). I can't honestly think of another way the Bush/ibn Saud conversation could have gone. Adam, thank Lobster you have a "fly on the wall" perspective. I would have thought there was more uncomfortable silence and less fruitful diplomacy. But then I never had much imagination. YOU CHANGED IT? Oh, say it’s not so!

What makes you think a Texas oil man or a former Halliburton chairman would want oil prices to go DOWN? The higher the price for a barrel of oil, the more economical it is to drill for it TX and OK.
