Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

Five days that shook world politics

There is no Cold War ahead. Yet the period between February 20 and 24 was extraordinary. Seldom have fault-lines in world politics surfaced with such clarity.

If the principal objective of President George Bush's European tour (February 20-24) was to heal trans-Atlantic rifts stemming from the great differences over the Iraq war, it was a success. Europe was willing to let bygones be bygones. But it became apparent during Bush's harmonious tour of "Old Europe" that profound differences remained between the European vision and the neo-conservative world view that the Bush administration subscribed to during its first term.

It's quite hilarious to call Bush's European tour a success, when it comes to "healing the transatlantic rift over Iraq".

Europe sent two officers (2) to go train the Iraqis, and 50,000 dollars (that's about 35,000 â‚¬uros). If Bush doesn't get the meaning of this message, then something's defnitely wrong.

Our media in Europe did well in reporting that Bush's tour has clearly not bridged any gap. There's no important subject on which we really agree.

Iran, the Middle East, the nazification of the American nation, China, the role of the UN, Climate Change, the dollar, multilateralism, - you name it.

And now that the dark Bush administration has tried to block the UN's recognition of abortion as a human right (the US was the only country to do so), the rifts just keep growing. It's these kinds of examples that show that the USA is getting isolated from the rest of the world.

No Bush tour will ever change Bush and his regressive, corporatist agenda.
