The only "doom" I see happening is Israel attacking Iran...but no one needs Clif to foresee that happening. The possibility of it has been discussed in the news for at least the past two weeks. Will it happen? Hard to say. Personally, I think Israel would be making a mistake if they did. Doing so would jack up fuel costs worldwide...shit, the tense situation there has already jacked up the prices. If gas hits the $5 mark as some analysts say it will, that will pretty much kill the economic recovery slowly taking place and I think Israel may find themselves losing a lot of support from the citizens in the U.S. if not worldwide. Does Iran need to be dealt with? Perhaps. I'd like to take what's his face over there in Iran's word that their nuclear endeavors are for peaceful energy production. But he has shown in the past he can't be trusted.
