CK, No doubt, if we had to do it over again, there would have been very little left of North Vietnam by 1965, and it wouldn't have been inhabitable for quite some years to come... You need help. Scumbria

No recession in the US. Unlike the nonsense political BS spewed by Bush, GDP growth accelerated in the first quarter. U.S. GDP picks up in first quarter WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy gained surprising momentum in the first quarter, boosted by stronger consumer spending as the United States completed a record 10th straight year of unbroken expansion, the government reported on Friday. The Commerce Department said gross domestic product, the broadest measure of national economic activity, increased at a stronger-than-expected 2 percent annual rate, accelerating from 1 percent in the closing quarter last year when the economy was edging ahead at its most sluggish pace in 5-1/2 years. Businesses pared back their inventories by $7.1 billion at the beginning of 2001 -- the first time since 1991 that they did not add to them -- in a sign of progress at clearing out bloated stocks of unsold goods. One potentially worrisome indication was a pickup in prices as a closely watched inflation gauge increased at a 3.3 percent rate that was well ahead of the fourth quarter's 1.9 percent. uk.news.yahoo.com
