interesting, I bet you are right. Still attacking IRAQ is like opening Pandora's box.

Attacking Iraq is so out of character for the USA. I can't think of anytime in recent history of the USA that we have decided to attach a country without being provoked. If and when it happens, we can look to 9/11 for the cause of the change in character. An unprovoked attack worries me, and would be view as a dangerous and imperialistic behavior unless a very strong case can be built by the Bush administration and sold to the rest of the world.

The commitment to topple IRAQ's current government and to build a friendly one to the USA will only breed more hatred toward the USA. An angry America forcing it's will by using deadly force on the rest of the world is not something I want to see expanded.

I know a lot of what is going on now in Washington is an attempt to scare IRAQ into changing on it's own, but you can only use the threat of deadly force for so long before you have to put up or shut up. I think the fall will be the put up time.

All the above means the market is dead in the water or worse till something happens to change the current picture. So, we wait till the heat dies in the desert, while the heat of anger builds in our nation's capital.
