Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

but in the meantime whilst we await Iran's answer as to whether we should start WW3 or not, the anticipation may well take it past $150.
So the biggest drop in oil prices for 25 years may soon see the highest rise. $150 by Wednesday I reckon but I've always been wrong before _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSFLSTb5KfU

or?
Face harsher sanctions.
If the U.N. can get a resolution to stop imports of refined petroleum to Iran, that would have a huge impact on Iran.
I'm not sure where Iran gets its oil from, however. _________________ Massive Human Dieoff must occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where you live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group.

lol!
And on all of us. Iran would then turn the taps off which would have the same affect as a war only with more US casualties than Iranian ones. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSFLSTb5KfU
If it does drop, the only backlash we will see is the people who love their huge SUV's and Gas-Guzzlers will think they've been given an excuse to go back to driving them.
Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens.

In case of a USA-Iran war, world economy would collapse in my opinion. Oil markets are so tight since we are post peak that a so huge event would precipitate events.
I remember US destroyed USSR economy by asking SA to increase its oil production. Perhabs their plan this time is to do the opposite in order to destroy Chindia economy with 500 to 1000$ oil, then later (say 2010) going back to business as usual while Chindia would be in the middle of a gigantic civil war.
In this case, oil would collapse to 2 digits price.
What is certain is that China, India and many other countries won't like US to go to Iran. Mankind could then end in an awesome thermonuclear war, but since US government knows their economy is doomed anyway in the short term, they don't have much to loose (in their opinion). It's a bet on a bright future!

Part of the plan might be to ratchet up sanctions until either Iran complies or does something incredibly stupid. If Iran lashes out militarily, the US can always say they tried diplomacy and didn't want this war with Iran. A slightly better outcome then an preemptive attack by the US and Israel.

Dubya may not be able to pronounce dubya, but he still knows when his oil shares are going down & it's time to goose the market. _________________ People first, then things, then dollars.

I was thinking the same thing; "we tried diplomacy and it didn't work, even went as far as to try to open a new embassy, blah blah, blah..."

We followed along with the EU. Perhaps if say Italy or Turkey recognizes they will soon be in Iran's missle reach it becomes a NATO threat. US will NOT go into Iran alone. We won't get the UN to do anything but I think any strike will be NATO/France backed.
