What makes you fear the Islamization of the oilfields? Islam is the faith of pragmatism, mercy and equalization, and does believe in development. An Islamic government in Saudi Arabia allowed the flow of oil to the U.S., despite the U.S. Administration's resistance to a settlement with the Palestinians...

American mini-blitz on behalf of their new album Give 'Em Enough Rope: ten days, seven cities, stretching from Berkeley to New York, stirring up waters that flow far too free and easy.

...leaders can persuade the Marxist-led oilfield workers to start the wells pumping soon again, even though Ayatullah Khomeini has ordered them back to work. At best, production would rise slowly to a maximum of about 3 million bbl. per day within six months. Increasing the flow to the normal 5.8 million bbl. would require the return of foreign technicians, an unlikely possibility. Yet, said Schlesinger, unless Iran begins substantial production soon, frequent shortages of gasoline will show up this summer, and the U.S. will not be able to rebuild its stocks to avoid a scarcity of heating oil next...
