Funny article about how the war will wreck the economy (from an email sent by KCI and Bill Bonner -- investment advisers) :

"Don't pay attention to the fools who confuse patriotism
with loyalty to the current gang of politicos who currently
infest Wash. D.C.

"The tradition of our Constitutional Republic calls for
making money from foreigners - not bombing them.

"From a strictly economic perspective the fools who call
for pre-emptive war will wind up making a 'pre-emptive'
strike on our economic well being. Their military
adventures will accomplish nothing but huge future deficits
and a sickly dollar.

"I wonder how 'gung ho' the current crop of Baby Boomer
Bombers and aging chickenhawks will be when they discover
they are exchanging Social Security checks for rebuilding
Iraq's infrastructure and paying the salaries of Iraqi
civil servants salaries rather then funding Medicare...

"In the not-too-distant future, when the Gung Ho Geezers
wake up every 2 hours to pee because they are too poor to
buy prescription drugs since their pension funds have lost
90% of their value and Medicare is bankrupt.

"Waking up in the quiet solitude of night is a good time to
reminisce over the glories of Empire."
