Good article, but your link doesn't seem to work: here it is again: Claiming the Prize.
Oil wealth is poisonous for so many people -- it could be a source of prosperity for a country, but its extraction and production are a big centralized thing that is a prize to be fought over and seized by different factions. Seems like the long term strategy for Iraqis ought to be to foster a more diverse economy where there isn't just one big juicy black prize sitting underneath a barren desert.
Thanks Chris, I actually found a better link. That empire Burleque one has some bugs.
Yeah on the resource grab. Just look at Africa's conflict diamonds. Ugh.
