Struggle over the Middle East: Gas Ranks First
The media and military attack against Syria is directly related to the global competition for energy, as explained by Professor Imad Shuebi in this masterful article.

It is because she is at the heart of the most colossal gas reserves in the world that Syria is being targeted. The wars of the last century were fought for oil, but a new era has dawned, that of wars for gas.
