The Japanese market has dropped 78 % since its economy collapsed and they weren't pissing off the world. A similar effect on US markets would put the Dow at 2400. Sig makes the point that terrorism has to be addressed regardless of economic impact. That is correct but there are smart ways to do it and dumb ways to do it. It's a free world. If the US and its citizens wish to flail away at the world in this fashion then they better be prepared to accept and expect the consequences. I seriously wondered if we are seeing the end of the US dollar as the de facto global currency. If so, what replaces it? I conclude gold or the Euro. I expect the Euro. I further predict that Russia will also join with Europe (Euro). There's a big pattern change occurring now and the US is shooting itself in the foot. The blustering and puffery only washes as long as the bucks are behind one. The base may be seriously eroding now. Big changes coming on the global scene I believe. It's a shame. It didn't have to go this way but egos and all....hey its a free world. Every one is allowed to shoot themselves.
