#4 It's still the 7th Century in most of the Muddled East anyway.

That's basically the problem in a nutshell. The Muddled East is celebrating the year 709 and we are celebrating 2009. As technology forces us together the question is are we going to split the difference and allow them to take us back to the 1300s?

#5 FrankG, they WERE civilians. Rocket-launching civilians. Gaza doesn't have a rocket-launching branch of official military personnel.

#6 2009 is going to be a very bad year for any country dependent on oil production. The price cannot come up until the market stops contracting and starts to expand. Not likely for quite awhile.

#7 Richard of O, there is a way for oil prices to rise without market expansion - suply contraction. A war in the Persian Gulf would do it. Or revolution in KSA. Etc.

#8 Yep. Loss of mrginal supply could run up the price as fast as it came down.

#10 > There is a way for oil prices to rise without market expansion

You can also expand the money supply by printing.
