Well, I would agree with you except for one point,,,,,if the tolls go to Iran, I have a problem with it.
The tolls should be split between Iran and Oman, since the Strait of Hormuz lies between them:
Exactly.
They can split the tolls with Oman. Let’s see. 100 ships/day charging $1 million equals $100 million. Divide it by half and they get $50 million/day. They’re gonna need a lot more than that to rebuild their country.
They’d probably double the tolls unannounced. All the more reason for us to fill the vacuum. We’re more dependable.
Will the people rise? Ferdinand Marcos had his supporters. Now his son runs the corrupt place. If they don’t rise it will acknowledge there are too any crazies there and Obama was right not helping out in ‘09.
