Finally, it's in print. Someone calling a spade a spade. It takes an economist to attempt to point the media and the country toward the cause of the attack on the US. Oil money. While other in the media quibble with each other about who is more dangerous to the country*, Krugman gets to the nub of the issue and why it's such a problem to deal with. One needs to take actions that will prevent future acts of terrorism, while not destabilizing the region and putting the oil reserves of the world at further risk. Bin Laden knows this and is shrewdly exploiting the weaknesses of the region. Stratfor analyzes the US's options militarily.




*See below for my own flaming which I now look at as making as much sense as yelling at a dog for panting when it's hot. These people have no other point to their lives than to yell at each other. Even catastrophic events can't sway them from their obsession with each other. Their actions have shown just how irrelevant they are.
