That depends. Fuel prices may actually go down if we find a way to collect and produce energy from the radioactive fallout...

Phew, just Iran.
When I read the headline, I thought it was a replay of 1775 |

But will the Chinese lend the USA enough money to fund it?
 Surely a bit of sabre rattling for the Jewish/ Pro Israel lobby pre presidential election?

Wars are usually good for the economy. If the **** continues to hit the fan worldwide-recession-wise expect one near you soon.

Judging from the documentary yesterday on the BBC and what is generally known in the intelligence community isn't Pakistan the biggest threat to stability and security.
Iran at least has a hostile but stable government whereas the jury is still out on Pakistan. The west never went to War with the Warsaw Pact and neither will with China or dare I say Iran due to the MAD doctrine but instability in Pakistan is very worrying. |

That's what this is all about, Isreal has nukes (and an appaling human rights /ethnic cleansing/attacking neighbours record) and wants to stay the only nation in the region with them. |

If Israel wants to feel more secure, they could try dealing equitably with the Palestinians, that would be a good start. They just act like the regional bully and are worried that someone might be strong enough to stand up to them.

 They are completely surrounded by countries that want them wiped from the face of the earth, so if it was me I think I'd be flexing my muscles at every given opportunity. Us Yorkshire folk have a common affinity with Jewish people.... |
