摘要

If September 11th really did change the world then one thing it changed, you might suppose, is how the West, and in particular the United States, should think about energy. America's dependence on oil imports from the Middle East has led it to see the stability of the region as a vital security interest. In defending this interest over the years, its military and political entanglements have grown more costly and more complicated. In some ways, it is argued, these policies may have become self-defeating. America's military presence in Saudi Arabia, for instance, may make the region less stable, not more. All of which leads some to conclude that America and the West should henceforth minimise their involvement-economic, political and military.
