Oil, war, oil wars... and something green

Check out this extremely interesting blog post (and the ensuing comments) on the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon by Juan Cole, a professor of Mideast history at the University of Michigan.

I followed a link on Cole's site to The Oil Drum, a site that addresses energy issues such as peak oil.

And to leaven all of that, here's a link to the Pachamama Alliance whose mission is to promote a global vision of living sustainably and, specifically, to preserve the world's tropical rainforests.
