Should be a good day tomorrow in the markets since Ed Rendell, Democratic Party chairman is calling for Al Gore to concede. With regard to Iraq, leaving the borders as they were was clearly in our interest. The coalition would not support an occupation of Iraq, and any such occupation would have thrust the US into some very serious political quagmires that were completely far beyond the mandate of liberating Kuwait. Iraq, unfortunately, requires an authoritarian govt to rule it diverse cultures. But we did our best to take Hussein out of the equation and make way for a successor. In fact, it was the day after we dropped a 2ton bunker buster on one of his complexes that he had just spent the night shortly before, that convinced him he had no place to hide. But good points on Japan and Korea... However, if they detect a strong US resolve against Chinese hegemony, they will support us. It's only if they see a lack of resolve by the US to maintain a power presence in the region that they will find themselves forced to Kowtow to Chinese pressure. Regards, Ron
