Victor: All good points. But lets also be reasonable, there are forces at play here that would like nothing better than to disrupt our economy, and a reduction of shipments would have an impact almost as great as an embargo. Just ask the Europeans. I am not saying you should prepare to freeze in the dark. But I am saying you should not discount the impact of poltical instabtility in the ME.

5. Saudi Arabia probably cares less about Israeli-Palestinean tension than getting the $$ from its oil exports, which it very much needs. Victor - I think the dollars form oil exports will come regardless. From all accounts I've read, the Saudis are very much involved in support for the Palestinians - check this out: theaustralian.com.au "It also approved a proposal by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz to send funds totalling $US1 billion ($1.89 billion) to help fund the Palestinian uprising."
