Stan,
I collect oxymorons. Thanks for adding
to my collection with "moral war". That goes great
with "government intelligence" and "reality
tv". Would anyone like to start an oxymoron list?
Feel free to contribute your favorite.
Regards,
Norman

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.

Hello profitok,
one other thing--I follow Strafor.com and their assessment all along
is that Saddam would retrench to Bagdad and try to create as much
death as possible in US troop as they cross the country. his strategy
(only one available) is to work public opinion in US and world in
order 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
was
self-inflicted.
Best regards,
Jim Johnson
