Lots of different scenarios here. Iraq stated today they will have a 30 day boycott. If only against US and Israel, no problem; re-distribution of supply at any increased cost, but no big deal, even if Iran joins. If a few more countries join, and they issue a threat to boycott any country or company sending oil to us, it could be a problem. Even if nobody joins them, an act of sabotage, anywhere along the line, would be just as disrupting. Shoot, if an American refinery has problems, like a fire, gas prices go up 'cuz refinery capacity is limited. You know those new anti-drug ads, telling me that if I buy homegrown pot from one of my friends, I am supporting terrorists? You don't suppose one day we will see an ad saying that if you drive an SUV, you are supporting terrorists? I should live so long. Rat
