However mostly this thread is about if the Iranian military can shut down the strait or not.

My guess is that at least 50% of the public will rally 'round the flag once again as the PNAC Oil War for World Empire moves on to its next target.

I was listening to On the Media this morning while going to fetch the Sunday Bagels. They were talking about how the theocracy in Iran actually likes the internet. Sure they censor the hell out of it, but they also allow quite a bit of stuff to get through, and they encourage people to use it. It seems that if people just sit in their homes and in the cafes and vent via keyboard into the blogosphere, they aren't actually out in the streets causing trouble. Hmmmm... I thought, and muttered out loud to my dog "hey chloe, that could be us". She just looked at me and hoped wistfully that I would leave the car with the bagels in it unattended.
