There are two things that are important here - if "God" is telling Bush what to do in the middle east, where it just so happens the majority of accessible oil reserves are, then "Houston, we have a problem".
Further, while not well known in the mainstream, a key component of the Israili/Palestinian conflict is control over water resources which is a scarce and strategic resource in the region. This gives us a glimpse of what can happen in the fight to control scarce resources: in PO scenarios, oil becomes increasingly scarce.
This idea seems to come out time and time again, some sort of "they wouldn't allow it", or "they will sort it out" a sense of some higher group sorting or creating the problems.
so the bush article is/was a warning to all those who follow a hierarchially structured society..
we cant wait for leaders to sort it out, they wont, it is up to us to sort it
