#1 For these clowns to say that sanctions mean nothing to them, they sure are saying that sanctions mean something to them.

#2 Iran is a net importer of refined products. Than we want to warn Iran that we are shifting towards an economy with alternative fuels, hybrid cars. That will result in a barrel price of less than $10 in about 10 years time. Another funny correlation...high oil prices and the level of the Dow Jones which is only 300 points away from its highest level since 2000....

#3 F&$k them, start the sanctions and see who suffers more. I would gladly light a match to my SUV and take the loss if it meant we would be able to rid this planet of the nut cases in Iran.

#4 49 Pan, I suspect that you are involved in too much of a magical thinking here. Taking out your SUV may not be that helpfull in the grand scheme of things. ;-)

#8 In other words;

"The Russians are charging us an arm and a leg for this high tech gear. We really need to step up the pace of this insanely expensive nuclear arms R&D push before they bomb the daylights out of us. So send lots more money."

#9 Actually, glassing over Iran's military/nuclear facilities might just herald a period of stability and lower oil prices.

#10 "With the rise of every dollar in the oil price, the economy of the large oil-consuming nations will be affected," he added, without elaborating.

Yeah, and so will yours, assbite!

#11 Stupid move. We are already investing in alternate sources (Shale, Coal) - hiking the prices may hurt the economies for a short time - but markets will adjust and Iran will find itself priced out of the market.
