There’s rioting over gas rationing in Iran. Bloggers covering the turmoil here [2], here [3], and here [4]. Iran is blaming-who else?-the U.S. for the unrest.
Of course. After all, when you limit yourself to the luxuries available in the 14th century as Iran would have people doing, you don’t need gasoline. Because of the Americans the Iraqi people aren’t limiting themselves that way, thus the shortages.
And why hasn’t the Iraqi government laid a huge tax on gasoline, and why are they not demanding mileage standards ?
Iran, meantime, can’t do anything about it either, because much as the United States, they don’t have anything in the way of refinery, anymore. It strikes me as interesting that we have a country that can refine uranium, which they have to import, for the purpose of power generation, but they can’t seem to do anything about refining the oil that they’ve been sitting on top of for thousands of years.
The reasonable person, might wonder if their line about the uranium being strictly for power generation, is the truth.
