The Iranian Threat to New York City

[virtualobserver]

19. If Iran responds to an attack from Israel energy prices skyrocket worldwide

and if they interrupt the flow of of though the strait of hormuz there will be oil shortages.

The US fed funds rate has been sitting at essentially 0% for over three years and Bernanke has said that there will be no change
until 2014. 5 years at 0% is incredibly abnormal and shows what a mess Bush left us with.

Europe is dancing as fast as it can to keep a collapse from happening there even now.

.The world economy is incredibly fragile....,push oil to $200 and gas in the us to $7 and
the world economy will collapse. The US would have to get involved militarily. Iran's worldwide capabilities make Al Qaida look like a joke and the outcome is totally unpredictable. If the US economy collapses, Santorum is a possibility.

Your reaction to this leads me to believe that you think that this will be like the strike on the Iraqi facilities by Israel years ago, with minimal consequences.

I hope you are right, but frankly I don't think that you have thought this through.
