Current Al-Jazeera (Arabic) Online Poll


The question is:

Do you support using oil as a tool in political disputes?

With about 800 responding so far, 87% said yes.

I like the timeliness of this poll. It shows that the vast majority of Arabs (the poll is in Arabic) support the view expressed by Hugo Chavez and disagree with the view of the American king of Saudi Arabia. Those diametrically opposite views were expressed in the current OPEC meeting in Riyadh. For more on that see the article contributed by Steven Rix, posted below.
