BUSH FIREs IN MIDDLE EAST

President Bush.sr left the legacy of breaking the Berlin wall and communism. So when Mr. Bush.jr took over the office in 2000 everybody expected him and still expecting what legacy he is going to leave when he demits the office in another 2 years.

From the beginning of 1990s to till date world economy in one way or other is dominated by the OPEC countries by there black gold and not by army or by veto power. Developing countries like India and China very often fight like dogs and cats for oil and gas resources to fuel there booming economies. These OPEC countries play with the oil and gas prices at will and the result – Oil virus plagues the developing countries.

When Mr. Bush.Jr took over the reigns of USA he was first struck by 9/11 by Al-Qaeda, secondly by the economic downturn of USA. The people behind these two events are self styled Osama and oil shined Middle East.

Subsequently to 9/11 Taliban regime in Afghanistan was over thrown. Then Mr. Bush struck again by over throwing Mr. Saddam in Iraq. The second one created controversy throughout world. From east to west and north to south everybody saw Bush as the cruel cowboy.

But his leadership stature increased even further by not succumbing to any external pressure and criticism for his Iraq policy. Mr. Bush from the beginning played his Iraq card in outstanding manner. He knows exactly why he went to war and what he wanted from war and how to win Iraq.

As his first step towards victory in his middle policy Mr. Saddam was hanged. From this he created the vacuum in Sunni leadership in Iraq. Now Sunni’s became vulnerable against Shiites. Obviously this makes them to depend on USA to protect themselves from rejuvenated Shiites. But this doesn’t make Shiites more powerful against Sunnis. So USA became god father to both.

This is a warning bell to all the kings and queens in the Middle East. This policy of USA will bring in more reforms in that region and most importantly in OPEC. These reforms will make OPEC to act sensibly and humanistically.

This legacy of Mr. Bush.Jr will make the OPEC to come out with sensible pricing mechanism for the black gold which will be a great relief for the world.
