“With oil at $135 a barrel, Israeli air strikes on Iran would seem to ensure a 2,000-point drop in the Dow and a world recession.”

Fortunatley, it sounds like both the US and Israel have reached agreement on what needs to be accomplished before Bush leaves office.
Pat hopes Iran can provide a final solution.
