Back to the war, I think is a matter of when not if.

Anyhow I dont think Obama will let this happen until the elections are over. I.e. Rumors of giving bunker buster missiles to israel to keep them at bay a bit longer. Oil will go ballistic on the war news, (not so good for a Pres wanting to get re-elected).. The question is how will the UAE fair economically and from a safety standpoint. Sources that I have followed said that Iran would be sending missiles into the UAE... I assume the initial few days would be the greatest threat to safety in the UAE. Any thoughts on the likelihood of the UAE becoming a target? I'm looking into joining Emirates, but would like to see how this all plays out first.
