Like a crash in Cantarell? Simmons was right. Event without a major Gulf hurricane this summer is gonna be tough for the US.
/god help us if there is a war in the mideast.
well Hezbollah is stockpiling more rockets so I wouldn't be surprised to see some new conflicts emerge in the Mideast but that will only be a problem if one of the big oil producers gets involved
Yes, the intervention of a deity is obviously necessary to save you from paying too much for oil. People being blown to smithereens can look after themselves.
Perhaps you didn't mean to be quite so self-centred and obnoxious, in which case I apologize for this comment, but: How do you think Iraqis feel about the gnashing of teeth about a few thousand US soldiers dying in a war the U.S. started, while they live in a country more dysfunctional than it was before the U.S. arrived, where at least 200 times as many people have been killed?
You know, the Nazi kill ratio was less than 200 in most of the countries they occupied in World War 2.
