Maybe it is all about restoring growth to stagnant economies of Europe? This may help>>http://quote.bloomberg.com/fgcgi.cgi?ptitle=Top%20Financial%20News&tp=ad_topright_topfin&T=markets_b2fgcgi_content99.ht&s2=ad_top2_topfin&bt=blk&s=3ae7affe3449bc1ffb032329bf9f91b5 Some "victory", we bombed a tiny country with the GNP of Wisconsin into bending to our will. If we would have allowed the Kosovo's to arm themselves in 1991 none of this would have been needed. That would have been much too simple...

Estelle, I don't think that it will impact them as much as you might think. William may disagree with me on this. . .and that is good. . .that is what makes a thread work is lots of viewpoints. But I feel that the market has considered the costs and adjusted accordingly. Also, we are only talking several billion dollars here. . . [what a ridiculous statemtent]. . .no, really. . .I see the 3 billion in war expense to be fully expected. And the re-building of Kosovo to be a shot-in-the-arm for American companies getting those government contracts. Remember those companies that were sent into Kuwait to extinguish the oil well fires? They made a killing. I can't even believe how many building, bridges and other structures we destroyed. . . .after a while, we were dropping bombs to destroy the rubble left from being destroyed from dropping bombs. Silliness. But what a fabulous opportunity to help re-build a brand new nation. . . state of the art. . .better than before. . . Anyway, I just think it will all wash out and have little long-term effects. . . .just the immediate knee-jerk reactions from each piece of news. Looking forward to opposing views and others opinions. Rande Is
