It's an interesting graph, for sure. I'm still wondering why gas prices are so high right now, but it might have to do with oil refineries getting destroyed by Katrina, or some such thing.
In the long run, though, if indeed this war is all about securing oil fields, military expenditures would have to be calculated as part of the cost of oil--albeit a part that is hidden from consumers. I'm wondering whether it's a sustainable strategy at 280 Billion $ a pop.
