David, You ask an excellent question about the relationship between bombings and the stock market. I did a little checking, and the day after the U.S. bombed Baghdad in '91, the Dow was up more than 100 points (part of this, I think, was due to relief that the U.S. had finally taken decisive action after months of building up to it). I haven't had time to check on the reaction to some of the smaller-scale air strikes. One of the differences with the latest bombings, I think, is the uncertainty brought on by no one knowing what Osama bin Laden might do next.
