Things are escalating. Iran's banks have been cut off from the world banking system. Somebody's going to get pissed.

I'll beleive when it happens, but for the record, this is, to the best of my recollection, the 16th time in the past 6 years that I've read a group of 'experts' on the Interweb predict imminent attack on Iran. Luckily, whoever has been making the calls(Bush or Obama) has found the good common sense to realize that attacking Iran is a really, really bad idea.
