107. Waste of Missile, launch them at the oil port of Saudi Arabia
Knock out that port, 5-10% of world wide oil just disappears. Europe, Japan, China, India, will go ANYWHERE To buy oil to supplement their Strategic Oil Stocks. Knock out Kuwaiti and UAE Oil you have a free for all for oil.

While I suspect the US would use its Strategic oil Reserve to support the US Attack on Iran, Iran just has to survive the 90 days or so the US has in oil reserves and then the US Military will have to cut back operations do to lack of fuel (and that presumes that Bush denys any of the Strategic supply stocks to domestic use, something I doubt will happen).

If I was Iran, that would be my target, not Israel.
