America's strategic aims, he explains, include:


-- controlling most of the world's oil and other natural resources;


-- remaining permanently in the Middle East, "the intersection zone of the three continents where 80% of the world('s) population" lives; and


-- if the above two objectives are achieved, America will control the world's economy, or enough of it to matter.
