Held Hostage By Oil

I have been beginning to see stories on the news about Iran and Venezuela hoarding vast amounts of oil in supertankers in order to manipulate the market and drive gas prices even higher. I found some evidence to support this on the net, and think that this story is still developing. There is also evidence to support that the two nations Iran and Venezuela, are working together in this effort. I believe that this is not solely an effort to reap greater profit by manipulating the oil market. What do the two countries have in common? They both hate us with a great passion. There are so many directions in which I wanted to go with this story. I am consumed however, by only one thought. I think that this has the potential to be the flash point for a global conflict. We are already at odds with Iran for their nuclear programs, aid to insurgents in Iraq, and general sponsoring of terrorist organizations World wide. Now with Americans and our economy suffering greatly, it may just come to war. It would not take much, and may not start with a military action. This covert oil embargo by Iran and Venezuela may have already been the "Hitler crossing into Poland" of our time.
