RE:"My recollection is that the market rallied powerfully even before we knew if Desert Storm would be militarily successful. I agree, the same could happen again."

I'll have to send you a chart...I think it market bottomed in October 1990 abut really didn't get cranked up until we bombed or there abouts...

RE:"As for terrorism, why doesn't the US vastly accelerate the plans to land planes via GPS? If the FAA can control and land planes from the ground, it would pretty much end hijacking."

OTOH, that wouldn't stop someone from blowing up a plane or pulling back the throttles and crashing it into the ground...
Of course with the training these guys had they could just turn off the autopilot or GPS guidance...
