Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Liberia, Congo,...
Angola, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Cambodia.....

What do they all have in common??

Recent wars with control of natural resources as the underlying cause.

Whether the resource is oil, water, timber, diamonds or minerals, the end result is the same.

Religion, ideology or nationalism all play a role but natural resource control is a the basis.

As climate change irrevocably alters the environment, resource control will become even more important to nations and non-nation entities.

China has the world's fastest growing economy, an depends on oil as much, or even more, than the United States.

http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/natres/oil/2006/0629massoud.htm

The neo-cons are aware of the situation worldwide with regards to natural resources. What we have been witnessing in terms of the foreign policy of the US since 2001 has been laying the groundwork.

Afghanistan and Iraq are resource wars. Israel's actions are less about terrorism than water.

Excuses will be publicized, spin will implemented. The facts are not debatable.

COntrol of natural resource is THE driving factor in modern warfare.

Settle in and buckle up....it's gonna be a wild ride.
