These leaders may feel the need to bend to the wlll of their people and make war against Israel.<br /><br />The millions of muslims living in Europe will also be angry, and having more freedom there than in their own home country - this will definitely have an effect on day-to-day life in Europe, as if the debt problems there weren't enough. Expect immediate rioting as soon as the news is heard in Europe.<br /><br />The price of oil would likely double overnight, throwing additional weight upon those already struggling to make ends meet in these difficult economic times.<br /><br />Then again, if iran's nuclear weapons capability is not eliminated and they do have a bomb within a year - it is possible that it will be detonated in Israel. This will trigger an immediate response, which would precipitate all of the actions that I have listed above.<br /><br />-MammothMammothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331079890390629462noreply@blogger.com
