    Ship of Fools

    Military action would incur significant risks, including the possibility of U.S. and allied losses, wide-scale terrorist reprisals against Israel and other nations, and heightened unrest in the region.

    Hmm, no mention of the possibility of disruption to world oil supplies. If these village idiots can't at least mention the possibility, no one should take them seriously. In fact, they should be disregarded as the fools that they are.
