Lets look at Americas "threats"

1)Iran
2)Russia
3)Venezuela

Hmmmmm. I wonder what these countries have in common??????
Gee, I give up.

All are ruled by dictators?

No, no, you've got it all wrong "Mr Bush called Iran one of the two greatest threats to America in this century, together with al-Qaeda"

Or was it "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq"? What d'ya say? No link between al-Qaeda and Iraq? Ah, never mind! Be afraid! So the Constitution can be shred and your dollars inflated away to finance a few illegal wars of conquest with your permission.

/Rant off/

Communists are so 20th century, it seems ...

Marco might have meant :

- oil reserves & oil production
- against US unipolar domination attempts
- plus benefiting from the current dollar crisis.
