While I'm not going to comment either way on the article's thesis in
general, I do remember my grade 8 history on the U.S. Civil War. The
British are reported to have taken the attitude:

	Though with the North we sympathize
	It must not be forgotten
	That with the South we've stronger ties
	Which are composed of cotton.

(Amazing how these jingles stick with one after 13 years...)

This attitude still holds true today for many countries, if you
replace "cotton" with "oil". (I know, then it doesn't rhyme...)
