Jeremy Leggett, a former oil man, wrote an article in The Independent (20/1/06) entitled, What they dont want you to know about the coming oil crisis. He wrote:
A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of an acute, civilisation-changing energy crisis.
We have allowed oil to become vital to virtually everything we do. Ninety per cent of all our transportation, whether by land, air or sea, is fuelled by oil. Ninety-five per cent of all goods in shops involve the use of oil. Ninety-five per cent of all our food products require oil use.

The West should step out of the United Nations
The United Nations, actually ruled by Arab and Third World dictatorships, fails in its duties. There is no distinction between aggressor and defender. The Democratic states are voted out and the rules are changed. Genocide is almost an internal affair of the respective states and terrorism is not considered as an aggressive deed, but as an action of a liberation group. The West is in danger and should step out of the United Nations.
