<<Any military action would IMO most likely drive the prices of oil and gas higher...if only for a short period of time.>> If the object of the terrorists is to cause pain, and OBL's biggest enemies are the USA & SA, a strike an the energy infrastructure of SA would seem like a highly desirable option.
