If that is true, does the write "imply" that "perhaps" the leaders of OPEC will present another letter to the UN threatening to cut off the supply of oil if Israel and Palestine go to war???? An awesome prospect! What happens then?

the joint kazakh-american-russian oil pipeline from the caspian region reaps huge profits for american businessmen, like Dick Cheney, that have invested in non-OPEC oil platforms in the Caspian.

After General Ariel Sharon’s 1973 conquest of the oil and natural gas rich Sinai and his massacre of The Egyptian Third Army in The Sinai, the leaders of the Arab oil producing countries presented a letter to The United Nations demanding ”the return of our occupied territories.”

The Arab oil producing countries then cut off the oil supply to The United States of America and ”all supporters of The Zionist Entity.”

The oil embargos of the 1970’s triggered a worldwide economic recession from which the world did not recover until the 1980’s.

One of the most important pillars of ”The American Dream” was destroyed, the freedom to fill your hot rod with as much cheap gas as you want and go cruising.

Investors around the world lost untold billions of dollars as markets fell around the world.

Oil is the base of the economy of the world.

When the Arabs used what came to be known as ”The Oil Weapon,” America had no choice but to force Israel to return the Sinai, which Israel wanted in order to make herself independent in her energy needs.

General Ariel Sharon, Chief of General Staff Moshe Dayan and Mossad Director Meir Amit’s plans to create a ”Greater Israel” with her own energy supply were a miserable failure.

The State of Israel suffered a humiliating defeat and was forced to come to terms with the fact The United States of America is the alpha dog on the block.

All that Israel could do to save face was to send Prime Minister Menachem Begin with his witty and sarcastic mouth to Camp David to meet with President Jimmy Carter and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to admit that Israel had to return The Sinai to Egypt.

Begin’s first words to President Jimmy Carter when he arrived at Camp David were,

”This is a deluxe concentration camp you have here Mr. President, why don’t you just move us all here?”

In 1982, the same year that Israel finally returned all of The Sinai to Egypt, a humiliated Sharon and Begin tried to save face by launching an invasion of Lebanon that killed an estimated 40,000 Arabs.

When Israeli forces reached Beirut, they were met by elite rapid deployment forces from The United States Marine Corps and a clear signal that Israel was not going to go any farther than Beirut nor would Israel gain total control of Beirut.

General Sharon realized that his forces would be no match for The United States Marine Corps.

It was at that point that Israel finally realized that The United States is the alpha dog on the block.

The United States is the military power that controls The Middle East.

Begin retired from public life in 1983 and lived a Greta Garbo existence until his death in 1993.

Privately, Begin believed that the model of Zionism and a fully independent ”Greater Israel” that he had spent his political career fighting for was dead and that Israel’s future was now in the hands of The United States of America.

The State of Israel and the corporate controlled mass media would like the world to be ignorant of these basic realities of political science in ”The Arab-Israeli Arena.”

Today Israeli politicians now speak of a ”special relationship” with their ally, America.

Israeli politicians no longer speak of a fully independent ”Greater Israel.”

Israel has not forgotten ”The Oil Weapon” or its meeting with The United States Marine Corps in Lebanon in 1982.

The world’s investors and funds managers have also not forgotten ”The Oil Weapon.”

It is not a coincidence that major amounts of capital have left the markets in New York as investors diversify their portfolios.

America is recession and The Silicion Valley boom has ended, for the time being.

The spector looms that Israel may again prokove the Arabs into using ”the oil weapon.”

This spector makes investors very nervous and they are putting their capital on ice.

Investors learned well from what happened in the 1970’s.

Much has been made of the oil finds that have been made elsewhere in the world.

They are a drop in the bucket.

If the Arabs again use ”the oil weapon” again, the world economy will be far more devestated than in was in the the 1970’s.

Israel’s hands are tied.

The United States of America will not tolerate any military action by Israel that could provoke the use of the ”oil weapon” again.

The world’s economy will not be devestated again as it was by General Ariel Sharon’s war crimes in The Sinai in 1973.

Israel knows full well who the alpha dog on the block is.

Israel has an impressive small theater military.

The United States of America has a navy with 12 aircraft carriers presently deployed along with their accompanying battlegroups. Three more aircraft carriers are in mothball at the present time.

The United States Aircraft Carrier Enterprise and her battle group are presenty touring The Mediterranean off the coast of Italy.

The United States Aircraft Carrier Ticonderoga and her battle group are making their regular tour in The Persian Gulf.

One United States Aircraft Carrier and her battle group can wipe out an entire continent.

Israel knows full well who the alpha dog on the block is.

Any action taken by Israel against The Palestinian Authority will be done in a manner that to ensure that the Arabs will not be provoked into using ”The Oil
Weapon” again.

The United States of America cannot and will not allow ”The Oil Weapon” to be used again.

General Ariel Sharon and The State of Israel’s hands are tied.

American Secretary of State General Colin Powell has already announced that America will participate in any multi-national observer force in Israel.

General Colin Powell is one of four men who control the most powerful military in the history of civlization.

If General Ariel Sharon as his small theater military get too out of control and the Arabs threaten to use ”The Oil Weapon,” General Colin Powell and his team will do what is dictated by practical military neccesity.

If General Ariel Sharon gets too out of control he will once again be met by The United States Marine Corps or perhaps Airborne United States Army Rangers.

I think we can deduce that General Ariel Sharon has learned from the past and will not act against the will of the ally with whom Israel has a ”special relationship.”

General Ariel Sharon is not the ambitious man we knew two decades ago.

A kinder, gentler Arik Sharon.
