It would be ferocious for about a week, probably involving an Arab oil boycott for about a month Hmmmm. The sand will turn to glass but the oil will still flow? That would be a cute trick. And then there's Mr. Market... However, it's a quiet day, so.... Not that quiet.

The real question is whether this would precipitate a domestic dispute in the U.S. that would prove far more disruptive than the inital foreign blow. TP

There's a severe logical flaw in that post. If the entire Middle East was nuked, there'd be no Arabs left to impose an oil boycott, or Arab oil being produced.
