Open Question: How can I get to Italy for as little as possible?

My girlfriend and her family just moved to Italy (tonight, in fact ='( ) and I'm trying to find out the cheapest way possible to get to Sicily.

Are there any ways I can utilize the Navy flights? more

Voting Question: Question about Mac Computers?

I was at Best Buy the other day, looking to buy a computer. I checked out the Macs, and the sales person and I talked for a while. He told me something that surprised me, and I came here to Answers, to see if I heard correct. He said that you could run Windows right off your desktop, without even restarting. Now, say I wanted to play Flight Simulator (a game only for Windows). Technically, could I start up Windows, then start playing the game, and when I'm done, go back to the regular operating system? Also, any reviews on the iMac computer that runs for $1200? more

Voting Question: Custom-made Computers?

I've been thinking of buying a new computer. We'd like a Mac, because we've heard alot of bad things about Dell and other companies. But, Mac is a bit expensive, and difficult to repair (you can't add things onto a Mac such as a graphics card youself). You also can't play alot of games on a Mac (such as Microsoft Flight Simulator). So, we've been thinking of having a computer made for us. What are the downsides of this? more

Resolved Question: Need a new laptop. Sony Vaio FW?

Ok, so I've had this Dell desktop for about 4 years and its starting to die. It really didn't last long at all before it started to act up. Anyway, I decided that this christmas I would go ahead and get a new laptop. I already new that I didn't want a Dell or a Mac (my brother has one and I don't like it). So I started to look at the Sony Vaio FW and HP Pavilion DV5T. I think I'm leaning more towards the Vaio. I know it can be a little more expensive but I want something that will last (I learned the hard way that cheaper is NOT better!). I'll be going to college in two years so I want something that will last long enough. I'll use it mainly for writing papers, internet, and a little gaming so I want pretty good graphics (mostly Flight Simulator). I like the wide screen on the Vaio but I also really like the border less infinity screen on the HP and the light scribe in the burner. The main things I'm looking for are reliability and performance. Battery life is big too. I built a Vaio with these specs: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9400 (2.53GHz) ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3650 with 512MB vRAM LCD 16.4" (XBRITE-FullHD™) 320 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive [7200 rpm] Blu-ray Disc™ Read and Write Drive WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n) with integrated Bluetooth® technology Standard Battery Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home Premium 64-bit 4 GB DDR2-SDRAM (DDR2-800, 2GBx2) Does anyone know anything about these two computers?

Resolved Question: Joke :If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines... Can I have some stars?

UNIX Airways Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building. Air DOS Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on... Mac Airlines All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up. Windows Air The terminal is pretty and colourful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever. Windows NT Air Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes. Windows XP Air You turn up at the airport,which is under contract to only allow XP Air planes. All the aircraft are identical, brightly coloured and three times as big as they need to be. The signs are huge and all point the same way. Whichever way you go, someone pops up dressed in a cloak and pointed hat insisting you follow him. Your luggage and clothes are taken off you and replaced with an XP Air suit and suitcase identical to everyone around you as this is included in the exorbitant ticket cost. The aircraft will not take off until you have signed a contract. The inflight entertainment promised turns out to be the same Mickey Mouse cartoon repeated over and over again. You have to phone your travel agent before you can have a meal or drink. You are searched regularly throughout the flight. If you go to the toilet twice or more you get charged for a new ticket. No matter what destination you booked you will always end up crash landing at Whistler in Canada. OSX Air: You enter a white terminal, and all you can see is a woman sitting in the corner behind a white desk, you walk up to get your ticket. She smiles and says "Welcome to OS X Air, please allow us to take your picture", at which point a camera in the wall you didn't notice before takes your picture. "Thank you, here is your ticket" You are handed a minimalistic ticket with your picture at the top, it already has all of your information. A door opens to your right and you walk through. You enter a wide open space with one seat in the middle, you sit, listen to music and watch movies until the end of the flight. You never see any of the other passengers. You land, get off, and you say to yourself "wow, that was really nice, but I feel like something was missing" Windows Vista Airlines: You enter a good looking terminal with the largest planes you have ever seen. Every 10 feet a security officer appears and asks you if you are "sure" you want to continue walking to your plane and if you would like to cancel. Not sure what cancel would do, you continue walking and ask the agent at the desk why the planes are so big. After the security officer making sure you want to ask the question and you want to hear the answer, the agent replies that they are bigger because it makes customers feel better, but the planes are designed to fly twice as slow. Adding the size helped achieve the slow fly goal. Once on the plane, every passenger has to be asked individually by the flight attendants if they are sure they want to take this flight. Then it is company policy that the captain asks the passengers collectively the same thing. After answering yes to so many questions, you are punched in the face by some stranger who when he asked "Are you sure you want me to punch you in the face? Cancel or Allow?" you instinctively say "Allow". After takeoff, the pilots realize that the landing gear driver wasn't updated to work with the new plane. Therefore it is always stuck in the down position. This forces the plane to fly even slower, but the pilots are used to it and continue to fly the planes, hoping that soon the landing gear manufacturer will give out a landing gear driver update. You arrive at your destination wishing you had used your reward miles with XP airlines rather than trying out this new carrier. A close friend, after hearing your story, mentions that Linux Air is a much better alternative and helps. Linux Air Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the ful the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?" more

Resolved Question: Is it worth it for me to buy a computer flight simulator?

Hi, I'm a college student & I plan on taking the necessary courses to get my pilots license next summer. At this point I know next to nothing on how to fly a plane or how things work, but I know that its something I really want to do. I plan on flying small personal aircrafts recreationally, but haven't completely ruled out becoming a professional pilot (though I think its unrealistic) Anyway, I was wondering if it is worth it for me to buy and use a flight simulator computer program to familiarize myself with piloting and see what its all about. Would it actually help me at all or is it more like a game? If it is worth it, which one is best (I use a Mac, so that limits me). Also, do you really need a joystick for them? I'm guessing yes. Thanks for any help at all! more

Resolved Question: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been nationalized, with the taxpayer assuming its debts... ?

Bush went from boasting about "record home ownership" to avoiding talking about "record home foreclosures". His "ownership society" has turned into a "bankruptcy society".

Resolved Question: Game port to USB Adapters.I really need your help? Anyone?

I have just bought a CH Products Pilot Pro Flight Yoke from Ebay and its the older type of yoke (flight simulator joystick) that requires a game port to connect to a computer, to my knowledge it is a plug and play device. I am going to be using it on my laptop, but my laptop doesn't have a game port. The simple solution would be to buy a 'gameport to usb adapter' which there are many of these about, but i know that these adapters/converters only work with certain joysticks/wheels/yokes. But there is no way of me knowing what adapter will work with my yoke. So if anyone knows of a USB adapter that will work with a CH Products Pilot Pro flight yoke then please tell me if you wouldn't mind, i'd really appreciate it. PS. I have Mac OSX 10.5 and Windows XP SP2 more

Resolved Question: Who will bring the world criminal - the US government and its other gang members- under arrest?

Who will bring the world criminal - the US government and its other gang members- under arrest?The war between the US and Russia is inevitable!!! Here are the reason to think so. The US government, along with its 2 gang members strategically located in Europe and the Middle East (UK and Israel) using democracy as an excuse, and flipping “separatists” and “freedom fighters” when appropriate, have commited more crimes against humankind than any other government in the world. Here are some of the crimes: 1.Military coup in Iraq with the aim of getting access to the country’s oil reserves. Millions of people in the country are dead. Carl Levin openly said on CNN that there was an agreement from the very beginning with the new elected Iraqi government that reconstruction of Iraq will be in exchange for Iraq's oil!!! 2. Torture of prisoners in Guantanama Bay 3. Support of Racism or Separatism in other countries for achieving geopolitical and economical goals(Serbia, Yugoslavia, with Taiwan, Tibet coming) 4. Vietnam war. 5. Genocide of Muslims in the Middle East.(Israel) 6. Finally - 9/11 in the US - Muslims attacked but…… WHO ALLOWED THEM to do that and WHY? Who is behind the US government? It is US military who rules the US. The US government is just a doer. The democracy in the US has gone long ago right with JFK assassination. The presidential campaign is just a show for the ordinary American. Mac Cain is next American president, congratulations fellow Americans!!! Obama who knows what is on his mind? and even if he wins he will be murdered. He has already been warned (remember the flight control problem on take-off on the Obama’s plane?) The Americans were warned long ago about the military. But that was too late. The military complex’s been in control since long ago.. So, we are done with Iraq who will be next? Venezuela - and we won’t have to wait long. Russia – this is especially interesting. Russia has been under attack since the collapse of the USSR. Democracy? Who cares? Who needs your democracy? We need oil, not your democracy. If Russia does not attack the US, RIGHT NOW, it may be too late. The war between Russia and the US is inevitable!!!!! After deployment of the anti-missile shield in Europe - that is supposedly against IRAN (Noncense!!! Even if Iran had the bombs it just cannot attack Europe or US) - Russia will not be able to respond to the US strike. After the Ukrain and Georgia are in NATO and the US troops are deployed in those countries Russia will be wiped out from big oil and gas business. Russia is in great danger. But Russia is no fool. That is why Russian is so preoccupied about Georgia. Russian intelligence know it Russian president know it. Iran is nothing, is there just to make everyone think is a threat and that we need the anti missile shield in Europe. Whatabout China? After the war between Russia and the US has began there will be no need for anyone to join. We all will be done. So my q is who is able to bring to justice the worlds criminal? Maybe ailiens? What you think? That was a joke about ailiens - for those who did not get it. All wars are about money,oil, gold etc... Who cares about democracy and human rights without getting a profit from it. I'd like to ask you about the Catrina victims how much did they get help from the government? They are here in the US they are American citizens. Where are their rights now? Nef, if you think Russia is a criminal too it is your problem. At least I have not heard Russia dictating what the US should do in Iraq - the sovereign country as Georgia and that did not do any harm to US AT ALL. You are hypocrite, thinking you are smart? more

Resolved Question: Why does the letter "X" seem to be so commonly used for things like software and hardware?

You see it everywhere. Flight Simulator X. DirectX. Mac OS X. XTracPads. Xara Xtreme. And so on. What gives? What's so special about that letter like it means something? It's just a letter. Yes, I know that it's often for a version number. But notice how Apple used "X" rather than "10", and how they kept that X and started renumbering versions after the 10. (10.4, 10.5 for example, rather than Mac OS 11, 12, 13, 14) And some places it just looks ugly to have a big X there. Some times it's cool, but I think it's over-used. more

What is the best thing to do for this? Or is what I'm planning to do the best already? The big concern is just getting there when the HHG get there. I can't be staying in a hotel for weeks that would be to much money. I believe that is all more

Resolved Question: Recession : With War or Without it ? Isrel vrs Iran// War - and US??

Recession: With War or Without It? by Gary North by Gary North DIGG THIS The world's economy has been in growth mode at least since 1991. China has been in growth mode since 1979. The American economy had a sharp recession in 1991. Asia had a financial crisis in 1998. America had a very brief, very shallow recession in 2001. The Federal Reserve System pumped in money at an accelerating rate after mid-2000 through 2004, and did not go to tight money until the month Bernanke took over: February 2006. Inflation overcame the recession of 2001, and it overcame the crisis of 9/11, but it created the housing bubble and the commodity bubble. The housing bubble has popped. This is going to take the price of housing in the United States lower than it is today. I think 20% lower is a conservative figure. We are nowhere near the end of this popped bubble. The commodity bubble is still in full force. It is a worldwide bubble. The price of energy and the price of rice and other food commodities have received most of the attention. Federal Reserve policy since early 2006 has been one of relatively stable money. There is a lot of chatter to the contrary, but if we look at the two most significant monetary indicators, the adjusted monetary base and M1, we see that there has been very little growth in either. This is why the United States is now either in a recession or is facing one in the next few months. When a period of monetary inflation ends, economies go into recession. The American economy is slowing down, and it will continue to slow down. Both China and India have expanded their money supplies dramatically for a decade. Both countries are now facing a crisis of rising prices. Price inflation is a major threat to the continued prosperity of both countries. China's government has begun to impose selective price controls. This is creating shortages and production bottlenecks. India's government is considering doing the same thing. What both governments need to do is to tell their central banks to cease buying all government debt and all assets of any kind. The central banks need to stop inflating the money supply. But if the banks do this, both countries will experience major recessions. The governments do not want to have major recessions, but they also do not want to experience the effects of monetary inflation: price inflation. So, both of them are tempted to go back to the traditional policy of imposing price controls. This always creates shortages, and it always reduces the rate of growth of the economy. China and India are trapped. AN INTERNATIONAL TRAP The United States is in the same trap. The headlines scream of the skyrocketing costs of energy and food, but the broader consumer price indexes indicate slow increases: maybe 3% a year. This is because families are readjusting their budgets. As the prices of gasoline and food rise, families are forced to cut back expenditures in other areas. So, the general price indexes are not rising dramatically, but families are struggling with their budgets. This struggle will get much worse this winter, when the price of heating oil rises. This will exacerbate the existing economic slowdown. Furthermore, the rising price of oil means a rising balance of payments deficit for the United States. Oil-exporting countries are the main beneficiaries of the rising price of oil. This means that foreign sellers of oil will get the lion's share of the increase of the price of oil. American producers will pay for the prosperity of the oil exporting countries. They will pay in the form of reduced demand for their products. The world is facing simultaneous recession. Meanwhile, the American financial system has absorbed hundreds of billions of dollars of IOUs from home buyers who cannot possibly pay off their debts. They are in the process of defaulting to the lenders. This has created a crisis for America's largest banks, and for several major European banks. We all know the story by now, but psychologically, most Americans have not adjusted to the new economic reality. Most investors have not adjusted. Yes, the American stock market is down by 20% since last October. But still they think a recovery is just around the corner. The media keep saying this. American investors still have faith that the economy is essentially healthy, that there will not be a continuing fall in the stock market, and that the economy will not go into recession and stay in the recession for two or more years. So far, I am giving you the good news. The good news is there is going to be an international recession, rising corporate bankruptcies, bank failures, and retrenchment by consumers because they can no longer pay the rising cost of energy. Why is this good news? Because this recession is going to put a cap on the rising cost of energy. Commodity prices will fall during the recession; this includes the price of oil. NO MORE FISCAL WIGGLE ROOM Americans have steadily stopped saving over the last 28 years. In 1981, they saved over 11% of their discretionary income. Today, they save nothing. They are now in full spending mode. They have borrowed money against their future income, against their home equity, and on simple promises to pay (signature loans: credit cards). They have stretched themselves thin with respect to debt. If oil goes to $400 a barrel, or $500 a barrel, and stays there for a year, American consumers will be in panic mode. They will have to cut their budgets, and they have forgotten how to cut their budgets. They have forgotten how to save. The strategy of the optimists is to tell us that the worst is over economically. This is the government's official position. Chairman Ben Bernanke does not say this. He keeps hinting of more trouble to come. He keeps telling us that the Federal Reserve System is monitoring events. He keeps implying that there is some sort of rabbit still remaining in the Federal Reserve System's hat which they can pull out if the banking system moves into paralysis mode. But he doesn't tell us what these rabbits are, or under what conditions the FED will pull them out of its hat. The good news regarding the economy in general is not backed up by anything specific. The government tells us that the worst is over, but there are almost no indications that the worst is over. The housing market is still in decline. Foreclosures are still rising rapidly. The lenders are not selling foreclosed properties at market prices. Instead, they keep buying back the properties. There is a growing inventory of unsold properties on the books of the lenders. Meanwhile the two major sources of liquidity for the housing market, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are verging on bankruptcy. On Wednesday, July 9, the stock price of Freddie Mac dropped by 23%. Yet its stock price was down over 50% since January. These two stocks have continued to fall. Everywhere we look on the horizon of the domestic economy, there is bad news. There is no sector of the economy that is improving, unless it is heavily funded by the Federal government. Health care has not slumped, because health care as funded by Medicare and other state and local government programs. This means that the Federal deficit is going to get worse in any recession. Medicare and Social Security are non-discretionary spending items. The revenues will fall. So, the supposed strength sectors of the economy are in fact guarantees of a government fiscal crisis. If the general economy slumps, the Federal deficit is likely to go over $500 billion a year. When the recession hits, commodity prices will fall. If the recession does not hit, commodity prices will continue to rise. But rising commodity prices will force bankruptcies in those firms that are not in a position to pass on increased costs to their consumers. This means industries associated with discretionary spending. If your company is dependent upon discretionary spending by the public, your job is at risk. If the recession hits, your company will suffer. If the recession doesn't hit, rising commodity prices will squeeze your company. Consumers will spend their money for gasoline and heating oil, not on the products or services your company produces. The boom economy has not been based primarily on non-discretionary income. The boom has come at the margin: those areas of the economy in which consumers do have the option of spending their money rather than saving it. So far, I have been giving you the good news. The good news is there is going to be an international recession, rising corporate bankruptcies, bank failures, and retrenchment by consumers because they can no longer pay the rising cost of energy. THE BAD NEWS The bad news is that the State of Israel is increasingly likely to launch an air strike on suspected Iranian nuclear weapons production facilities. I have discussed this before. If this happens, the price of oil will skyrocket. This will force massive readjustments of family budgets in every country on a permanent basis. This is going to force producers to fire people out of fear of bankruptcy. Consumers are going to stop buying much in the area of discretionary income. That is, those items that can be cut back will be cut back. This could mean you. If the State of Israel launches an attack on Iran, the economic news will get really bad really fast all over the world. So, the most important question today is whether or not the Israeli Air Force will attack Iran. From an economic standpoint, this is the crucial question. Here, too, the mainstream media have generally promoted optimism. They suggest that the Israelis will not attack Iran. The problem is, they can't point to anything specific that officials in the State of Israel have said that indicates that there will not be an attack. On the contrary, officials there keep saying "no comment." Something else is really ominous. The political leaders in the countries over which Israeli bombers will have to fly are deadly silent. They are not telling Israel in full public view that if Israel sends planes over their airspace, they will go to war with Israel. They are not saying that they are preparing right now to shoot down every Israeli plane that flies over their airspace. They are saying nothing. Why? I think the main reason is that they will not back up their words with deeds. They will not shoot down Israeli planes. They say nothing in public because they will do nothing if the overflights take place. If they go public with bellicose threats today, their own people will turn on them if they fail to back up their words with deeds if the flights take place. "You said you would do something. You did nothing. Get out!" This could start internal revolutions in the overflown countries. Silence is golden. It's yellow, but it's golden. This tells me that the overflight countries' leaders think the attack may take place. They would prefer to be accused of having been caught flat-footed by the Israeli Air Force than unwilling to back up a threat. American officials are offering the bipartisan line: "We must settle this through diplomacy." (To which Israeli government officials can respond, Tonto-like: "Who you mean we, paleface?") They are not saying anything about what sanctions against the State of Israel that America will impose as soon as Israeli jets bomb Iran. That is because there will be no such sanctions. Admiral Mullen supposedly sent Israel a statement in early July saying that the United States has not issued a green light for an Israeli attack on Iran. This supposedly means something important in itself. It means nothing in itself. What it means is the United States has not issued a red light against an Israeli attack on Iran. This means that there is no stop sign. There is no red light, so the absence of a green light means nothing. Of course no one has said that the United States will help Israel in such an attack. So what? Israeli officials are not asking for a public offer of American help. If the United States and those governments over which the Israeli Air Force must fly are not issuing public statements at this time warning that there will be significant negative sanctions imposed on the State of Israel as soon as the attack is launched, then this is an implied green light. Do we imagine that senior decision-makers in the Israeli government care a whit about the lack of an official American green light to their attack on Iran? They are as unconcerned about the lack of a green light as Iran is unconcerned about President Bush's threat of sanctions if Iran does not comply with all requirements announced by the Bush administration. Iran knows what Israel knows: the Bush administration is terminal. It will end on January 20, 2009. It has no teeth. Lame ducks don't bite. They merely squawk. Why should we think that either Iran or Israel gives a fig about the red light/green light debate? American pundits may think this debate is important, but why should anyone with common sense think it's important? TIMETABLES Iraq has announced that the United States must pull out its troops. It is demanding dates for this withdrawal. The Bush administration is pooh-poohing all this, and will not under any circumstances announce such a timetable, but so what? There is a timetable for the Bush administration's withdrawal: January 20, 2009. This means that the United States is going to be pressured by Iraq's government to leave Iraq from now on. Most of the troops will be forced to leave Iraq unless things change dramatically. Then what will be done with the 14 major military bases that have been built? As the pressure increases to force us to leave Iraq, and as the pressure from the Taliban increases in Afghanistan, and as the pressure from voters increases to get our troops out of both countries, and as the likelihood of the election of Obama increases, decision-makers in the State of Israel are caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. If the United States pulls out of the region, the State of Israel will be left high and dry. But there is another possible scenario. If Iran's surrogate Shia forces in the region take on the United States troops in reaction to an Israeli attack on Iran, American public opinion will swing in favor of keeping the troops there, no matter what. "Who do those Iranians think they are? We issued no green light to the Israelis. It's not our fault." If Iran begins to supply weapons to Shia forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the American death rate goes up, then American voters will switch back to a pro-war position. At least, this is a possibility. Americans do not like to be pushed around. Any escalation of war in the region will create havoc for the supply of oil. The world economy is moving into recession already; it may go into a true depression if oil goes to $500 and stays there. So, the stakes are enormous. The outcome is no longer in the hands of the United States, Europe, Asia, or any of the other outsiders to the Middle East. The outcome, or at least the trigger, is completely in the hands of the decision-makers in the State of Israel. They hold the gun. Unless the United States and Western Europe tell the decision-makers in the State of Israel that Europe and the United States will impose significant negative sanctions after an attack on Iran, then decision-makers there are going to make a decision based on the self-interest of the ruling party, not the self-interest of American or European voters. They are going to take care of their perceived problem, exactly as we would expect any other national political leaders would take care of their problem. That's why all talk about war being a threat to the self-interest of the whole makes sense only if the Israelis conclude that the economic crisis will be so severe that it will take them down in the whirlpool of economic collapse. They are not afraid of military retaliation from Iran. They are also not afraid of the United States, Europe, Asia, or any other coalition that does not have the backbone to say in advance that there will be major sanctions placed on the State of Israel if there is an attack on Iran. This is why I am concerned about the threat of an Israeli attack on Iran. I am in no way calmed by statements attributed to Admiral Mullen. When Admiral Mullen holds a press conference and says publicly that there is no green light for an attack by the Israeli Air Force on Iran, and that any flyover of Iraq by Israeli planes will lead to shoot downs of Israeli planes by American planes, then I will stop worrying about the threat of an attack on Iran by the Israeli Air Force. How likely do you think such a press conference is? We must face reality: the decision to go to war with Iran is 100% in the hands of Israeli decision-makers. It is not in the hands of the United States, Europe, or Asia. In other words, the economic fate of the West over the next decade is now in the hands of decision-makers who are concerned about the long-term survival of their own country. They are concerned because they do not want to have Iran in the possession of nuclear weapons. Both candidates for President have said the same thing. We have seen saber-rattling by the Iranians with the film-doctored test of the missiles this week. These missiles are militarily useless as weapons against the Israelis. They are as irrelevant militarily as Germany's V-2 missiles were in 1945. They cannot inflict enough damage to make a difference, unless they are used against Saudi Arabian oil fields. But, if they had a nuclear warhead, that would make all the difference. The Israelis know this. So, they are going to make their decision in terms of this long-term threat. The main inhibition against an attack is the possible collapse of the Western economy, which buys Israeli-produced goods. This threat may be sufficient to keep them from attacking. I dearly hope that it is. But it is naïve to believe that they are going to make their decision because of worries about whether Admiral Mullen has issued a green light or not. CONCLUSION When you invest your money, do not ignore the worst-case scenario. Set aside some of your money on the assumption that the worst-case will come true. This is what any military strategist does. He makes his decisions in terms of what the enemy can do, not what it would be convenient for the enemy to do. I suggest that you be aware of this threat. I suggest that you sit down with the family budget and outline what your response would be if the price of gasoline were $10 a gallon or $15 a gallon or $20 a gallon. What would you do? I know what you would do. You would drive less. Ignore the happy-face assessments of the geopolitical strategists. Ignore the happy-face assessment of the Secretary of the Treasury, Henry "Goldman Sachs" Paulson. These assessments are being issued to keep panic from spreading. I am doing my best to encourage people to take rational steps with some of their liquid assets: to hedge themselves against the possibility that there will be an attack on Iran before January 20, 2009. This doesn't mean that I think such an attack is a sure thing. Decision-makers in the State of Israel are going to have to live with $400 oil, just like all the rest of us. They may decide that this risk is too great. They may decide to put up with the threat of a future nuclear-armed Iran. I won't bet all of my money on this. I don't think you should either.
