The media probably will probably stick with a leader of an Islamic country....after all it gives them the double selling point of stirring up hatred at home and abroad.

Makes you wonder what the tabloids would have been printing during the Crusades

the problem with that is that islamic countries apart from the middle east are usually in asia which in uncomfortably close to China. I think africa is a safer bet.

As most people seem to think Africa wil be the next bogeyman - did anyone see the pious posturing yesterday over the lack of action during the Rwandan genocide... amazing how politicians just don't want to know about human rights when there's no oil to be had...

Nigeria has oil...

The US will have to continue to protect the northern pipeline.
The politics of OPEC and the upcoming US election may dictate some moves.

In the meantime coal production and use is upsmiley - crossand further raping landscape, breaking environmental laws and ruining community health in those areas. The safety laws for burning the coal have also been lossened.
