I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

Interesting that Israel says Iran may get nuclear bomb material this year, coincidently, the same year President Bush's last term ends.

'Iran may get nuke technology this year'
Jpost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST Apr. 30, 2008
Iran will likely have nuclear bomb technology in 2008, Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz said Wednesday, citing an updated Israeli intelligence assessment.
In the past, the general consensus in the intelligence community has been that Iran had hit some technical difficulties with enrichment and that its attainment of nuclear capability was much further off. In fact, a recent Israeli Military Intelligence assessment showed that the "point of no return" with regards to Iran going nuclear was 2010.
However, Mofaz, a former defense minister and IDF chief of General Staff, said in a speech at Yale University, Connecticut, that Iran could have the know-how to build nuclear arms within months.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office would not comment on Mofaz's new assessment of the Iranian program.
In his speech on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the transportation minister went on to say that while the diplomatic channel was the preferred and correct option to stop Iran becoming a nuclear power, if sanctions do not prove effective, that option must be removed from the table. He said every scenario must be prepared for and that any means of ensuring Iran does not go nuclear would be valid.
Referring to the Holocaust, Mofaz said that everyone has learned that history sometimes repeats itself but that now the world had an opportunity to ensure that it doesn't. He said "this time," the Jewish people would not let it happen, expressing hope that the world, too, would not let it happen.
He called the Iranian regime the central threat to humanity in the 21st century.
Mofaz was in the US heading an Israeli delegation, which was holding meetings with US officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, within the framework of the Israel-US Strategic Dialogue.

Any statement from Israel can be put through the Cashmere translator to yield the actual statement . . .
Setting one, for all statements regarding other countries and military conflict . . .
input ------> {translator} ----------------> "Any country perceived as posing any threat to Israel will be demonized as a "terrorist" country that is a threat to every country of the world."
The second setting, for all statements discussing statements of Israeli/Zionist immoral behavior . . .
input -----> {translator} ----------------> "Any person making any statement that is perceived as critical of Israel or Zionism is a bigoted anti-semite who hates Jews because they are Jews."
An example of the second is readily seen when an elderly man, who has spent much of his life working for peace in this world, is called a "bigot" by yet another Israeli thug because he pursues his cause by actually talking to an enemy of Israeli.
Good Lord - as if we in America don't have a large enough cross to bear, we'll also bear the cross of arming these racist lunatics with nuclear weapons when they decide it's time to start wiping out their neighbors.

Great example of the elder "statesmen" where afterward Hamas said "yea we'll talk but we still deny Israel's right to exist' proving the elder statesman to be an idiot.
