America is breaching international law at will

Full Sovereignty in Iraq Might Not Be So

Ignoring Iraqi Opinion in the Name of Democracy

Into the unknown
George Bush's grand plan to bring democracy to Iraq underwent a shambolic start with the charade that accompanied the selection of a new Iraqi president yesterday. First the American choice, Adnan Pachachi, had to be offered the job in the knowledge that he would prudently decline - a face-saving way to avoid an outright snub to the US. Only then could the choice of the Iraqi Governing Council, Ghazi Yawar, be approved.

Oil price soars to new high

It's business as usual
When it comes to oil, partisan politics stop at the US coastline. And if it is about oil, it's about the Middle East. Oil production in the US, Mexico and the North Sea is declining, and a recent study by the University of Uppsala in Sweden suggests reserves may be far smaller than the 18 trillion barrels the industry currently projects. If the new figure of 3.5 trillion barrels is correct, some time between 2010 and 2020, worldwide production will begin to decline.
