Barbara,
I missed the first part of the town hall meeting ... Will try to watch it when it repeats tonight at10:00 PM.
BTW, I don't think the war is off-topic, as it has the potential to move the market strongly in either direction, depending upon the outcome.
I share your grave concern, because once the ' Dogs of War ' are unleashed, anything can happen. I sense too much complacency in the US administration and the US military that they have the outcome under their control. What happens for example, if the bombing releases many of the agents into the air and thousands or tens of thousands of Iraqis are killed, or if Iraq gets some 'loaded' rockets off against Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or Israel. And of course there is always the possibility to terrorist attacks.
What struck me most was not the rude demonstrators, but the message from the audience to either go all the way and get Sadam or forget it. Of course that was only my impression and I could be wrong.
BWDIK, I am just a Canadian, eh!
:-))
