It appears war with Iran is inevitable. To proud dictators, neither one willing to budge, added to the mix the largest oil reserves in the world, jihadist insanity, and a US president with a low approval rating, and you have the mixture for a catastrophic war.
Although, our main concern should be the massive fatalities incurred by the coming conflict with Iran, another concern rears its ugly head, the specter of a sudden sharp rise in gases prices. Imagine oil prices at 75, 80, a 100 dollars per barrel. Gas at the pump at record highs, 6-10 dollars a gallon. The American economy would be crippled, overnight the most basic services would be reduced, and only essential travel would be affordable.
The price of food would skyrocket and city dwellers accustom to their instant gratification lifestyle, would find themselves unable to cope. Large-scale rioting and antigovernment sentiment would be the rule not the exception and no amount of law enforcement or martial law could keep the public from acting out aggressively, violently against their perceived enemies.
I foresee a drastic rise in oil prices if Bush goes forward with his narcissistic plans to control the Middle East. And what the problems that will follow will make 9/11, the Great Depression, and Pearl Harbor seem tame. Me, I am moving back to the country, returning to a simpler way of life, and staying the hell out of the way.
Stay tuned untrue believers!
