| StanleyMo | Gosh, they r causing the oil price per barrel more than 120USD now!! pity us please. |
| magicchip | hmmm..develop alternative energy sources and let them drink their oil. |
| ilgibe | It wasn't Opec. It was a demand driven increase... and the first buyer was China, at least till the beginning of Olympic games. |
| EMerkert | Federal Reserve...also a cartel |
| azramirza | The reading says forming cartel is illegal...But OPEC is not..so how can Federal Reserve be a cartel? |
You have a wonderful website and definitely should take some credit for your members' outstanding grades.
