Assistant Professor of Government Ted Lehmann presented "Petroleum and
America's Position: Stasis or Decline?" at the International Studies Association annual conference on Feb. 17. Lehmann's presentation drew upon his research on the present
position of the United States. He pointed out, among other things, that the Iraq War can no longer be said to be unrelated to oil. Iraq sent 50% of its total oil exports to our distant shores, well above the regional average for Middle East exporters, as confirmed by 2008 data. By contrast, the Saudis only send us about 15 percent of their oil exports, the Kuwaitis even less, approximately 6 percent.
