It was said the last time we were on the brink of war with Iran that if we invaded, peak oil would approach markets *immediately* instead of in 2007, because Iran would stop selling us oil. The day or two after that news circulated, American attitudes towards war and Iran changed much to the concillatory. It seems that attitudes have crept back.

If we invade Iran, the world will reduce its oil production to a estimated 2-3mbd below demand levels, putting us into oil shock. This will drive oil prices up to numerous times their current price and likely cause worldwide runaway inflation due to shortage and prices.


This may look like being caught between nuclear proliferation and peak oil. But there are other ways out of the mess. The United Nations is an organizing force and Iran can be brought into the peaceful and holy brotherhood of mankind. America should stop the wrongful Middle Eastern and world economic endeavors and seek their solutions before seeking their domination. Two Million Wells can do much more than any war, and thinking around oil will help the economy, society, health, and the environment. It is not yet too late.
