#1 Savages killing each other.

Add modern technology and a worldwide economy for oil, slaves, aphrodisiacs--you name it--and you still get: savages killing each other.

Somehow, I'm not sure Islam always makes a whole lot of difference in terms of the importance of what happens in the darkest depts of Africa. Worshipping Alla(n) through the local incarnation of a war god makes it all the weirder and more kooky.

#2 Why is it that the majority of OPEC nations, such as Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela ..etc are always involved in some of the worst geostrategic dilemmas in the dawning of the 21st century?

#3 It's almost as if someone's spending money to destabilize a lot of the oil-producing areas. (Oh, and you can add Chechnya, Columbia, and Bolivia to the list).

Naaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, that's just too paranoid...
