I have noticed an almost total lack of interest in this overall volatile subject which effects everyone, as if to say, if we don't think, discuss it, or make an attempt to fathom the situations, maybe, just maybe nothing will transpire.....
I too over the years have noticed this approach is taken by many many people as their way of coping with the potential threat of most any type of disaster, whether it be the threat of war, economic upheaval, natural disasters (think New Orleans), or possible disease pandemics (like the current avian flu situation). They would rather ignore it so it won't upset their happy thoughts rather than keep aware of it and assess it's potential and develop a personal plan of action as warranted.
Again, many thanks for the great insight. - OB1
I fully believe you are more then correct in stating Israel and our troops shall be targeted, since Iran's ruling tyrant Mahmoud Ahmadnejad has sworn to attempt to "wipe Israel off the map" they have roped themselves in to at least try. Obviously any military move on Iran's part to inflict a holocaust on Israel would be met with such incredible military might by the Israelis, the Iranian perpetrators would be targeted immediately and vaporized.

Unfortunately our troops and those of our allies serving in either Afghanistan and Iraq would become targets of jihadic revenge for the Iranians. Everything in our power must be geared to prevent missile and or biological attacks on those troops. If there was ever a current dictatorial Islamic régime more then willing to utilize germ-warfare it would be the Mahdi instigating Iranian Mullahcracy.
In relation to the Straight of Hormuz it is the energy life line for numerous nations throughout the globe, once again all necessary measure must be enacted to prevent major disruption of super-takers entering or exiting that geostrategic waterway. The Straight of Hormuz could rapidly become the number flash point in the coming conflict.
Have you noticed gas pump prices are quickly heading back to hurricane level price ranges of $3.00 a gallon or higher and we are not at war with Iran, yet, not has the hurricane season even started. I forecast a doubling of prices(+) if there is are dramatic sudden "double shortages" (Iran related war damage/sabotage, coupled with hurricane damage).
You are one of the remnant which clearly sees the economic potentials of some very rough times ahead. I firmly believe whenever these events do transpire we shall not be taken by surprise. Regrettably the majority will have no idea what or why they happened.
