What do you think is going to happen with regard to Iran and the straits of Hormuz?

Wondering if DUers are feeling that we are about to start or witness another war's beginning?

Please note in comments your take on this moment with respect to our Presidential election if you feel this is relevant to the question.

Thanks much, aloha.

Why bother to vote if you select "Pass"...especially if you're not leaving a comment in the thread?

I'm also just flat out terrified when I look at the state of the world today. I told dh today I was taking the kids and evacuating the planet.

How far they'll go with it is anyone's guess. It would be a nightmare for Obama. Not to mention the world if they're really set on destroying the new bogeyman erected by Bibi to scare his voters.
