In the very least we can except the price of oil/gas to go up. Just based of the fear factor of possible war. Some experts have predicted gas will rise to $6 per gallon if the resolution passes.
We have already set up a blockade. That is considered an act of war. Iran has been trying to protect itself from us for a very long time.

Part of the reason that the speculators are driving up the price of gas would be the constant threats against Iran. (Look at a map)

Bush won't go to congress; he'll just nuke Iran. We have to see who wins out. Cheney wants to nuke Iran very badly. Condi is trying to hold him off.
