Local Action for a Sustainable Tomorrow

The book "Target Iran" by Scott Ritter is a must read for those concerned about a possible disastrous future oil shortfall. One way this can happen is by U.S. military action against Iran. I would like to quote just a few sentences about this from Ritter's book:
"Any aerial bombardment of Iran would reult in the immediate attack by Iranian missiles on targets in Israel, followed by a major Hezbollah rocketing of northern Israel. If U.S. military forces are deployed from the soil of any nation within striking distance of Iran, those nations, too, could be expected to come under Iranian attack. Iran will will fire missile barrages in Iraq, and then engage the entire coalition occupation force on the ground...
Iran will do its utmost to play the oil card, not only shutting off its exportation of oil and natural gas, but also threaten the oil production of Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, and Saudi Arabia either through missile attack or direct action... There is a better than even chance that Iran would succeed in shutting down the Straight of Hormuz, choking off the global oil supply.
The price of oil will skyrocket out of control as a result of any American invasion of Iran, and the destabilization inflicted on the world energy market will be made permanent if America employs nuclear weapons. Every American businessman...will face almost immediate financial ruin as a result of hyperinflation brought on by oil prices reaching in excess of $150 - $200 per barrel. The American consumer will suffer a collapse along lines not experienced since the Great Depression."
I don't know what we can do to head off the president's mad rush into war with Iran, except to let our representatives in congress that they had better stand up and put a stop to this mad business.
