    A Perspective on Russia.

    http://www.kommersant.com/p-10330/pipeline__alternative/       It looks like the US is working on it's own pipeline as well to compete with Russia. I am trying not to be sceptical as to why the US invaded Iraq but developments like this make it difficult.

    http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/printpage/0,5942,21393665,00.html     Well this certainly explains why the US is not protesting very much. US oil companies will undoubtedly win lucrative contracts helping to build the pipeline as well as striking deals to export oil to the US at lower...
