...industrialized world, the slash in oil production by the Arab states has been a handful of sand in the economic gearbox. But for oil-exporting nations outside the Arab bloc, the move was pure serendipity. Almost overnight, as global shortages reached crisis proportions, the value of their oil deposits began to zoom. Yet the oil producers have resisted the temptation to try to pump fast enough to make up for the Arab cutback. Instead, they have cannily held output to roughly ordinary levels while sharply scaling up prices. That strategy is resulting in a kind of forced, massive transfer...

...Coyote fulfills Santayana's definition of a fanatic-someone who redoubles his efforts when he's forgotten his aim").

They are pure middlemen, rather than representatives of the U.S., Britain, or France. Concessions and favors granted them by western governments on the basis of narrow self-interest only strengthen organizations which do not necessarily act in that national interest, however narrowly defined...
