received from the President of Iran.
According to "administration sources" said letter was full of holocaust denial, pious lectures about religion and a request for negotiations.
We must take this summary on faith, as the letter itself has not been released to the public...nor will it be given GWB's mania for secrecy, deception & manipulation.
On the strength of the Secretary of State's dismissal though, crude oil prices have shot up over $72 a barrel.
Gasoline here in the Magickal Suburb of Menotomy is creeping towards three bucks a gallon for regular.
Now imagine to what stratospheric heights the price of crude oil will shoot IF we start bombing Iran or initiate the use of tactical nuclear weapons against that country?
$100 a barrel?
$150 a barrel?
Granted a nuclear armed Iran is a thing to be avoided, but can we take a moment to assess the probable effects of gas rationing here at home and five bucks a gallon for regular?
And is George Bush Jr so sure that the American people will suck it all up like good and loyal serfs?
