LaRouche: "The Middle East as a Strategic Crossroads"

In June of 2002, Lyndon LaRouche was invited to deliver the keynote speech to a two-day conference on “The Role of Oil and Gas in World Politics” held at the Zayed Center for Coordination and Follow-Up in Abu Dhabi, UAE. On the dais with LaRouche were UAE Oil Minister Obeid Bin Saif Al Nasseri and former Iraqi Oil Minister Essam Abdul-Aziz Al Galabi. Mr. LaRouche's presentation, titled “The Middle East as a Strategic Crossroads,” focused on the critical question of confronting the real enemy of the peoples in that region, namely the lack of fresh water and increasing desertification.

Since 1975, Lyndon LaRouche had repeatedly put forward a comprehensive plan for such development known as the "Oasis Plan" which, still today, remains the unique pathway to peace.

The event also included a dynamic Q & A session between LaRouche and conference participants, included in this video.
