While the visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao to Washington last month received considerable media coverage, there was virtually none for the remainder of his extended overseas tour. Yet it was the rest of Hu’s trip—to Saudi Arabia and three key African countries—that highlighted one of the chief reasons for his chilly reception at the White House—the growing rivalry between China and the US over oil, natural gas and other scarce resources....

The Federal Reserve isn't part of the government—it's a government within the government, and it decides what happens with the U.S. dollar, not the U.S. government. Oh, the president appoints the head of the Fed, as it's called, and some of its officers, but then the Fed goes ahead and makes its own decisions about economic policy....

In his State of the Union address, George Dubya said that the U.S. is “addicted to oil.” What he didn’t say was that post-WWII oil policy – which has been a central plank of U.S. foreign policy since President Roosevelt met King Saud of Saudi Arabia and cobbled together their ‘special relationship’ in 1945 – is in shambles. The pillars of this policy – Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf oil states, and Venezuela – are hardly models of U.S. spheres of influence. With surplus capacity in the...
