Since Muslims and Arabs "have oil," heaven on earth would obtain if a way was found around oil dependence either geographically (Russia/Caspian oil) or technologically. ("hydrogen economy" say).

All of this thinking is part of the strategy that would attack or "ghettoize" Arabs and Muslims with "Isra-America" in the catbird seat "forever."

You will see below a thumbnail description of Eliot Cohen, an IAGS "Advisor". Cohen was instrumental in getting Bush to attack Iraq and is well known in Israel as a key neo-con/Zionist operative. Cohen’s book, "Supreme Command" was "assigned" to Bush shortly before the Iraq War and fortified him and perhaps caused him to finalize his decision for war.

See below for IAGS overview and then Cohen.

The Institute for the Analysis of Global Security is the world's only non-profit public educational organization focusing on energy security. IAGS seeks to promote public awareness to the strong impact energy dependency has on our economy and security and to the myriad of technological and policy solutions that could help us move into an era of energy independence, and increase peace, prosperity and stability in the world.

What makes IAGS unique?
- While IAGS is addressing an issue thatt has thus far been the domain of environmentalist organizations, our focus is not the environment. IAGS is exclusively focused on global security, and energy is a vital element of the security picture.
- Instead of focusing on pie-in-the-sky technologies, IAGS endorses technologies that have already been certified by the Department of Energy and can be commercialized rapidly.
- Rather than promoting stopgap solutionns, IAGS focuses on ways to harness domestic resources and next generation technologies to completely displace imported oil.
- IAGS is not beholden to any industry oor political group.

"The wealth produced by oil underlies the power of the three totalitarian movements in the Middle East that have chosen to make war on us: the ruling Iraqi Baathists and Iranian mullahs, and al Qaeda, which was spawned by Saudi money. [..] We are at war. We should start by asking what we can do, as soon as possible, to undercut our enemies' power. Other considerations should now follow, not lead. [..] If we do not act now, we will leave major levers over our fate in the hands of regimes that have attacked us or have fallen under the sway of fanatics who spread hatred of the U.S., and indeed of freedom itself. [..] For all of them, their power derives from their oil. It is time to break their sword."
R. James Woolsey, CIA Director, 1993-95, Wall Street Journal, September 18, 2002
