It did not bankrupt anybody worth mentioning apart from USSR back when oil was at such levels.

$10 a barrel would bankrupt them

No, but they've reopened some tin mines in Cornwall now its value has risen to make it economically viable again.

I wonder if I can buy an ex coal mine on the cheap.

[Troll]

Yep. Same reason why Maggie put all the miners out of work. She was really saving the coal for when it was worth its weight in gold.

Has anyone been following the COAL documentary on Sky - the trials and tribulations of opening up a coal seam from scratch in Virginia - CEO is ex IT company President

The oil companies need a high oil price partially US ones as it costs more drill in North America, there are hundreds of small inefficient oil companies. $10 a barrel would bankrupt them

more likely is that most of Iraq will join Iran and we'll all be shafted.

It would be easy for 'them' to claim it a holy war and have millions of islamists fighting their cause throughout the world.

Opening the gates of hell is a common phrase the islamic extremists use, but in this case I think they would be right. [hiding under bed emoticon]

Yes, thanks to AEGIS.

Bush Jnr should have dealt with Iran instead of Iraq, make deal with Saddam to backup air power with his ground troups.

Oil would now be $10 per barrel if that happened.

What gets into these crazy leaders like Ahmadinajad (sp) ? Talk about cruisin' for a bruisin'

It doesn't fill you with confidence to know that Ahmadinejad is now considered something of a moderate...

I think the problem with men who start wars is that they don't get enough rude awakenings.

[AtW]

Do the US 5th Fleet have a defence against mobile surface to ship missiles, like Iran has been testing the other day?

If not, maybe it's the yanks who would have a rude awakening.
