I watched the Lehrer Newshour last night and a Judie Woodruff interview with an oil market expert. He said to look for $3+ a gallon gas this driving season. He also said that if Iran shuts off its oil, look out!
What I've been expecting is to learn Iran has acquired nuclear weapons early from an external source and would threaten to use them discriminately or not on anyone invading Iran.
Then there's the old hostage schtick. Some "terrorists" highjack an airliner and force it to land in Iran. Once in Iran, Iran won't allow anyone other than news crews and select family members in, it becomes unclear what the Iranian government's role is vis-a-vis the hostages and the hostages continue to be held until after, coincidently, Iran is assured it won't be attacked.
Anyone have any realistic ideas? |
