RESOURCE WAR

The French and Indian War, the Great War of 1914-1918, the current ravings...even the Crusades. They're always about resources. But is Hizbullah a proxie for China? For the investor with a sense of history:



The First Global Resource War
Sean Brodrick, Money and Markets, July 14, 2006

-The French and Indian Wars were fought between the French and the British right here in America, and they were fought over natural resources...from 1689 to 1763...control of North America's resources - like tobacco, rice, indigo, lumber, and fur - was the prize...

-I keep the French and Indian Wars in mind as I watch the next great natural resource battle unfold...as I see it, the two biggest players are the U.S. and China...

-North Korea has developed nuclear weapons and the long-range missiles to carry them. Underlying the U.S. reaction: "It's mostly China's problem. Why should we care? The Korean peninsula doesn't have any oil."

-In the Sudan...China has largely overlooked genocide to secure oil resources. And China is economically aligned with Iran...
