How about a different perspective or logic??
Oil is in finite supply--this basically means every day there is less of the stuff to go around.
World demand is increasing and will continue for decades.
China and India with over a billion people each are just beginning their industrial development.
Soon China and India will far exceed US consumption in which currently the USA is the single largest consumer of oil products.
OPEC who controls about 2/3rds of the worlds oil resources decides production rates which therefore decides supply and demand which decides the price.
Now...considering this information...do you really believe any oil company needs to stage attacks?? Oil companies are in the enviable and absolute right place at absolutely the right time...they are just sitting back on cruise-control and enjoying the economic scenery...
