USA and UN are at war with Iran over nuclear development and lack of cooperation and transparency. Sanctions have kicked in and without proper insurance coverage, Iran shippers are stuck in harbor.
“New sanctions crimp Iran's shipping business as insurers withhold coverage
By Thomas Erdbrink and Colum Lynch
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, July 21, 2010TEHRAN -- Just weeks after the United States and the United Nations imposed new rounds of sanctions on Iran, Tehran's ability to ship vital goods has been significantly curtailed as some of the world's most powerful Western insurance companies cut off Iranian shippers out of fear that they could run afoul of U.S. laws, the insurers say.”

"Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?The Kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed one".-Psalm:2 1-2.
Now the Kings of the earth are five permanent members of the Security Council ,armed with veto power.It is implied that rulers will gather together against the Lord,because Head of the Kings is Lucifer,the United States of America.

Not so easy. I don't think that the United States is guided by a mythological beast anymore than it is guided by an almighty right one.
When human beings stop imagining and get down to the business of working together to solve problems in our small space, we will make progress.
No time for wasting time on mythology. Move beyond it.

YJ.When I quoted Psalm to hammer my point home,I had mythalogical beast in mind which has been replaced by five beasts.The beasts who work together,get down to their business:intensification of our miseries,plights,to ensure destruction always in progress in some part of the globe.Theatres are not always same,but the drama is.
Iraq and Afghanistan type solutions.A perfect case where cure is worse than disease.Mythalogy is not as detestable as apathy.

When they are unleashed it will be with plenty of warning. It will be like swatting Canadian soldiers in the summer swarm.

my iranian friend tells me that news from home suggest manufacturing layoffs about 47% nation wide. nothing to ship. fuels are piped out of country for most part so petroleum/gaz exports not affected.

Reality is, there will be no attack on Iran as the risks are too great in harming innocent Iranians and a host of other innocent people.
