RE: Tensions Building In The Middle East
The U.S. needs a reason to attack IRAN and now it looks like they got it. (They probably rigged this whole thing up, to gain political support from U.S. citizens. As they have found out, the whole world will turn against the U.S. if they invade a country for nothing).
The US govt may want to divert attention away from catastrophic domestic problems. To me, it looks like, a severe financial situation is already started....gold will go to the moon very soon, IMHO.
