I post this query on the Skeptic Forum simply because I don't think there's any Westerner alive that has the slightest idea what the Hell's going to happen when the shooting starts OR stops.
But, I could be wrong.

Well I doubt that anyone can make acurate prediction about what is going to happen even with the help of a crystal-ball or tarot cards. There are so many factors and variables even if you have filtered out most of the disinformations and biases out of the avaidable information sources, that really anything still goes.
However there are many westerners out there who have plans about what they would like to happen when it all starts or ends. You read about stuff in the news like another would be iraq-opposition is talking with another oil firm, and you realize, that many westerners do have alot of ideas about what should happen in the middle east in the near fututre and who should profit from it.

There's a chance that we'll get throught the winter heating season before oil prices go through the roof when George Bush / Custer yells "Charge".
A bit OT, but I've noticed locally gas prices have recently reached about $1.49 per gallon (87 octane; $1.59 for 89, $1.69 for 93). Last time it was this high was the summer of 2001. Remember that time, when all we heard from the papers and politicians was that George W. was helping out his oil buddies and that they were "gouging" us (even though the government makes substantially more per gallon than oil companies), and that families were having to cancel their entire vacations because they couldn't afford the extra $10 or so the gas increase would have cost them! The horror!
Now the price is back up to the same levels (at least locally, though I doubt the increase hasn't been seen nationwide), and I haven't heard a peep.
Just thought that was funny...
