Tim, I agree that when serious news like this is taking place, Willy pulling a Swaggart is all the press covers.

A lot of what is happening is taking place because the folks there do not believe the USA has the political will, and perhaps not even the military capability, to take action. Although I believe the cost in human suffering is much more important, we could find oil gonzo pretty quick in a regional war. When you start talking about Iranians rattling swords in the direction, as least tangentially, of Saudi Arabia, you are talking a huge part of world reserves.
