It's sort of like the State Department, which Greg Palast (in HARPERS a couple of months ago) described in essence as a hotbed of the more moderate version of imperialism advocated by the oil companies. Unlike the neo-cons, the State/Oil axis was against privatizing Iraqi oil and against unhinging OPEC. -- Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://myweb.lmu.edu/jdevine
