Whats that translate to you?
It translates to me that those people wanted to increase the prices.
The clients (Oil Buyers) would be the same that would not change.
"people of the region" as you so say were Islamic Fundamentalists.

Analylise that for a minute.
In the intelligence community it was a lesser of two evils.
Higher prices or Business as usual were really the two choices.
Monarchy was business as usual in this scenerio.
Thats why Intelligence is a failure when used offensivly. It fucks up everytime because some dickhead wants to keep a price cut on his backers.
Iraq is no different than Iran cept this time around its being done with Military might and not an intelligence slant.
The USA and Britians goal and the world goal ultimatly will be for Iraqi's to sell oil to the world for profit in Iraq.
