Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

Peak Oil theorists come from all walks of life and political persuasions. For my part, I am a democrat hoping for an Obama win. That said, I think many are failing to see the obvious truth -- world oil production has hit a peak/plateau and is, inevitable, being dragged into decline. At this moment 55 of the world's 64 major oil producing countries are in decline, world oil demand outstrips available supply, and supply has been falling in the face of record prices. The only country in the world supposedly able to increase production through spare capacity -- Saudi Arabia -- has seen falling production for the past two years running.
The geopolitics you so liberally mention is simply window dressing for the crisis we are entering. We are in the age of Peak Oil now and the more quickly we get over denial, the better we may be able to manage the problem.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
