Mr Dipy: You are probably right in your assertion that the goal of this current administration is to bring democracy to the region. Just as the goal of the administration of the great Ronald Reagan was to bring democracy to Eastern Europe, a goal that was achieved and led to the greatest bull market in history (with an accompanying bubble).

As former CIA director Woolsey said yesterday, we are already in WWIV

And just as the people who lived under the communists in Eastern Europe are among the staunchest supporters of USA efforts in Iraq, (including people like myself who as a child saw Soviet tanks go through my hometown of 4000 people), so too will the liberated people of Iraq be among the most vocal supporters of the US.

Given its enormous wealth, in five to ten years, the standard of living for the average Iraqi will be similar to the average American, hardly sowing the seeds of terrorism. And with it will come the collapse of other repressive regimes whose leaders will no longer have the US to blame for their shortcomings.

On a personal note, as amazing as it may seem, Jock's father ran Rumsfeld's first political campaign in Niles Township,(Illinois) for Mr. Rumsfeld when Mr. Rumsfeld first ran for the Republican nomination for Congress in 1962.

On the other hand, it looks like Jock's picks for April 2002 through April 2003 will be a less than impressive epitath.
