Hello, EV,

Your turn to share your thoughts about military action against Iran, as you had promised in an earlier posting!

  A combination of a severe economic recession domestically and Vietnam to the 10th power internationally!!!!!!  Thats about the best way I can describe it given the current situation globally and at home.  
  We lob one bomb and the reactor, and in turn Iran lobs a few big ones at Israel since they don't have anything that can reach the US homeland.  Israel probably lobs one really really big on Iran, and in the meantime all hell breaks loose in Iraq.  That diversion in Iran would be a prayer answered for the terrorists in Iraq because that distraction would signal open hunting season on US troops.  An attack on another Muslim nation could pretty much be the straw that breaks the camel's back and destabilizes the region into something that isn't going to be pretty.  

Where would the price of oil go after a few nuclear exchanges in the region?  Well, it is a fair assumption that the oil will now be contaminated, so we can't use THAT oil!
