M.A.D about Petrolium


Mutual Assured Destruction. Now there an oldie but a goody. We now face a similiar scenerio with Iran. People are always quick to talk about Iran's oil card in it's standoff over it's nuclear program. But you don't hear much about the gasoline card. Iran has to import much of it gasoline. It's sometimes forced to us rationing, and it's population would not tolerate interuptions for very long. My first thought is how Iran can be so strategically stupid? leaving itself so vulnerable? Then I looked at this country and thought .... Never Mind.
