I found the RA-RA 'sporting event
rally' response to the Presidents 'remarks' the other day deeply
distrubing. War is not a game; it is death and destruction.
If this were a moral war, the mood would have
been somber. The official attitude would have been, 'War is a terrible
thing. We don't like war. We don't want to be doing this. But, we have a moral
obligation that cannot be ignored.'
In the previous Gulf War, we were driving Iraq's
invading army out of Kuwait. In this war, the Iraq is defending against an
invading army. Even the Russians, who were brutalized by Stalin, heroicly
defended their motherland from Germany in WWII. We may pray for a miracle, but
should expect to encounter difficulties.
The risk for investors / opportunity for traders is
that markets will react violently when reality sets in.

ref.
Hello profitok,one other thing--I follow
Strafor.com and their assessment all alongis that Saddam would retrench to
Bagdad and try to create as muchdeath as possible in US troop as they
cross the country. his strategy(only one available) is to work
public opinion in US and world inorder get a cease fire while still in
power. seems to be working :)so far! I'll take even
money the bomb in the market yesterday wasself-inflicted.Best
regards,Jim
