I don’t believe that Israel will attack Iran before the 2012 election. This is why

The future of the world economy as seen from the counter of Avis, Barcelona.
We went to pick up our rental car at Avis in Barcelona today so we could drive north to the Costa Brava. I am a member of the Avis Chairman’s club and normally get great service from Avis. For instance, they drive us in our rental car to the terminal when we return the car. … Continue reading
