Andreas: With the USA in a corner, other countries
would likely join in to get further concessions
from the USA. The Russians, Venezuela, and Nigeria
could also shut off the oil.
The result? Oil prices at $200-400/barrel;
gasoline prices at $25-50 per gallon (or about
$600 to fill up your gas tank), and fuel rationing.

Isn't it interesting that the path to arming
Saddam, allowing Saudi Arabia to Wahhabi-ize their
population, and all those other really stupid and
tragic technology transfers were "good for
international trade"? That even after the Gulf I
sanctions on Saddam, the black market in oil
continued to flow? That American parts of this,
French support in that, German assistance in
whatever--all the little baby steps toward nuclear
annihilation went forward smoothly and greased the
wheels of globalism?
Yet attempting to prevent a nuclear Iran will make
everything grind to a halt? Will it really?
