Can Iran cause a worldwide economic depression by disrupting oil shipments in the Gulf?
Q. If we attack Iran, they can use low level technology to disrupt oil shipments through the Gulf. They have done it before. They have land and ship launched anti ship missiles. They have thousands of sea mines and many ways to distribute them, both low level and high level techniques. From inflatable rubber boats, to mine laying ships and planes. Including commercial oil tankers. The Gulf is narrow and limits our military capabilities. Do you believe they can cause enormous economic problems in Europe, Asia and America? And can they caiuse a world wide depression?

A. Sure, if we carry on the war for years like we have in Iraq. The Iraq war should have been over in less than a year. But we disbanded the army and the governmental infrastructure, and are still trying to rebuild it from scratch. The people of Iran would love to see their government overthrown, so they can go back to being the westernized country the were prior to Jimmy Carter helping overthrow the Shah back in 1978, leading to what we have now. The Shah wasn't a nice guy, but he was better for the people than anything that has followed.

A. No ferries but you might check at your local port for a cargo ship coming into the Houston Ship Channel. They would probably take your car but I'm not sure about passengers.

A. The gulf coast beaches are the most beautiful and have the best sunsets. Look at Longboat or Siesta Key if you're looking south of Tampa. Otherwise think about the panhandle. Panama City and Destin are a lot of fun.
