It did,  but I think the falling prices have had an even greater effect on perceptions.

It's all about population!

or, it's all about perceptions.  

What part of the elephant are you fondling???

Feed the Homo Saps their usual diet of sound bites all day long and see how quietly they sleep...:

"Houston-based oil consultant Dan Lippe of Petral Worldwide said that with worldwide supplies growing, he wouldn't be surprised to see oil back below $50 a barrel, and perhaps as low as $40, within a few years -- if not sooner."

Same with poliTICS too -  just "trust us" says the UN and Coffin Anan... (and the gullible in Israel say let Iran have the bomb... ):

"Nasrallah said his guerrillas have replenished their arsenal and have more than 20,000 rockets which they will never give up unless a stronger Lebanese government takes over.

The Iranian-backed leader's tough stance was aimed at demonstrating that Hezbollah was not weakened by U.N. peacekeepers..."

And where are those Israeli Soldiers again... ???

Planet Earth is currently experiencing a Wiley Coyote Moment.  Festivities will resume again shortly.  Energy is Non-negotable and the Oil Dealers in the middle east are barely sane so it is not a good idea to take poliTICS too seriously when dealing witht them.

Speaking of the Barely Sane...

"I don't want to harp on this, but when you have a lot of Americans thinking, really, that God is going to come down and save them... you know, I joke about it and you smile, but when they get up in the morning they just know, that's reality for them! "

I think the same applies to all of godz childrens.

Perceptions and "simple" godz-fearing/hearing folk do not mix well in a Peak Oil world.   Whether it's The Second Helping of Christ or the 12th Imam, whatever, it doesn't look good for the Sap team.

Oh that's right, economic recessions and depressions always prevent warfare. Never mind. My bad.
