Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude

Robert Baer

Baer nam govori kako nas ciničan odnos naše vlade s našim bliskoistočnim saveznikom i američka ovisnost o saudijskoj nafti čine sve ranjivijima na ekonomsku katastrofu i izlažu nas riziku od daljnjih terorističkih djela.

Desetljećima su Sjedinjene Države i Saudijska Arabija bile zaključane u “skladu interesa”. Amerika je računala na Saudijce zbog jeftine nafte, političke stabilnosti na Bliskom istoku i unosnih poslovnih odnosa za Sjedinjene Države, dok je osiguravala proždrljivo tržište za goleme rezerve nafte u kraljevstvu. S novcem i naftom koji slobodno teku između Washingtona i Rijada, Sjedinjene Države osjećale su se sigurno u svom odnosu sa Saudijcima i vladajućom obitelji Al Sa’ud. Ali trulež u srži našeg "prijateljstva" sa Saudijcima dramatično je otkrivena kada je postalo očito da je petnaest od devetnaest otmičara 11. rujna dokazano da su saudijski državljani.
