High oil prices could be an economic disaster

High sustained oil prices would be a disaster for the economic recovery, the stock market and probably the bond market. Defining high and sustained is the challenge.
In the 1973, 1980, 1991, 2001 and 2007 recessions, oil jumped and maintained a price threshold that was too high for the economy to take. In each case, the stock market corrected and in most cases bonds suffered in varying degrees as well.

Yup...glad you're coming around.
There are powerful groups (who shall remain nameless) that are hoping for (and even manipulating things like oil prices) for that very reason...to create a short term economic disaster in order to get a new political leadership in place thats more favorable to them....at the expense of the rest of us 99%.

Venezuela to ship more fuel to Syria as crackdown spreads
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela is readying a third shipment of diesel to the government of Syria even as President Bashar al-Assad intensifies a crackdown against protesters, said a Venezuelan lawmaker on Monday.
Last month, Venezuela's government confirmed it had sent at least two shipments of fuel to Syria, potentially undermining Western sanctions as a rare supplier to the increasingly isolated Assad regime.

You would think it should be fairly simple to "quarantine" a single ship.
