4. Have my second cup of coffee and finish reading the daily newspaper.
5. Log on to this forum and watch the libs do step #3, above.
Definitely would be interesting to watch MSNBC, and log onto the Huffington Post.

What's your point?
Why would any tourists be walking around in Tehran?
I wouldn't want a zionist to do anything for me.
I'm a woman and I travel alone, even in the middle east.

If Israel attacked Iran, I would hope that they got their butts handed them on a platter and that we stayed the hell out of it.

Then I'd go to work.

BTW, most of the world pays about $7/gallon. I pay €1.45/liter in Europe.
How many lives do we continue to take to keep those petrol prices down?

The Real Cost of Oil: How much are we paying for a gallon of gas?
According to the National Defense Council Foundation, the economic penalties of America's oil dependence total $297.2 to $304.9 billion annually. If reflected at the gasoline pump, these “hidden costs” would raise the price of a gallon of gasoline to over $5.28. A fill-up would be over $105.

$5.00 if we are lucky.

My guess is that the Iranian Navy has an active mining mission in the Persian Gulf.

Also, Iranian Special Forces may have certain oil and gas pipelines well targeted (especially in Turkey and the UAE).

Hezbollah has plenty of cash to pay Somali pirates for nighttime missions in the Gulf of Aden.

So not only would LNG transports be severely impacted, dry bulk cargo would be disrupted as well!
US Navy is very good at spotting and destroying mines.

That statement is about what I would expect from someone who links to a website called "Jew Watch" to make her point.

If Israel attacks Iran and destroys it's nuclear facility then I'd say "way to go" and hope Iran's president and mullahs were there visiting the facility at the time.

No doubt. But can they dismantle ALL Iranian mines before detonation?

Ever hear of Tajikistan ?

Fars News Agency :: Iran, Tajikistan Sign Defense Cooperation Agreement



Tajikistan is a member of the CSTO


Check out the other members of CSTO

Collective Security Treaty Organisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



There has been discussion of Iran joining CSTO
and the SCO [which basically is the CSTO + China.]

Iran already has observer status in the SCO.


And... by the way... the President of Russia attended
a CSTO summit meeting in Armenia this weekend.
