For what it's worth US companies on foriegn exchanges getting hit very hard. de.finance.yahoo.com Microsoft down 16%. Can't imagine the US dollar will survive as the "world's currency". Even if CB's manage to contain gold short term they can't stop both the US dollar's collapse the ultimately the rise in gold as a refuge of last resort. I don't see energy shares doing well even if oil prices spike as energy shares are closely related to overall economic health. Any bounce in energy shares will get sold into imho. Not the way I wanted to make money, but it's time to start creating a plan for the ensueing chaos.

George - Unfortunately for me, your valuable insight into gold markets will no longer be readable for me. I have put you on ignore because this "U.S. deserved today" theme of yours is disgusting, apalling, insulting, and sickening. I am not in denial of the atrocities in Iraq, but children die here, too. Thanks for all of your past contributions; I can forevermore only view your name, not your despicable opinions. May be my loss, but I'll accept the tradeoff. Rick

George, 1,000,000 Iraqis have died since 1990.Well 450,000 of those casualties were war casualties killed pursuant to a 1990 United Nations Declaration of War against Iraq and UN Troop invasion of Iraq- who had invaded Kuwait and murdered 200,000 Kuwaitis. (Should I also mention the mass murder of Kurds by Saddam Hussein in northern Iraq???). For the remaining 550,000 casualties I express sincere regret-but note. They died pursuant to UN (not US but UN)sanctions placed upon Iraq because Saddam Hussein refuses to renounce weapons of mass destruction and allow inspections of his chemical and biological potential facilities. Saddam like Adolf Hitler does not give a damn about his people and has complete control to end the sanctions at any time. Now if mass death causes for you moral outrage, then the 2,000,000 Africans killed by the Islamic Fundamentalist regime in Khartoum in the Sudan civil war should really piss you off right? And let's get real George- The sanctions have nothing to do with the main issue here. The Islamic Fundamentalists hate us because we of the Western democracies stand between them and their dream of world hegemony - no more, no less. And yes- Let it be said that I stand up publicly against fundamentalist Islam- I would not want my descendants to say that I was an apologist for fascist murderers....

George- Why do you pin the blame for the death of 1M Iraquis on the Western World, when: (1) Iraq is a sovereign nation, and they support Saddam (2) Saddam Hussein consistently has broken terms of the Peace Accord he signed to end Kuwaiti war (3) Hussein clearly diverts monies for foodstuffs towards military I believe the world could've found a better solution here, but your attempts to blame the West vs. a sovereign leader who very much had/has the capability to end his own people's suffering....is somewhat mind-boggling... If a country, any country wants to support its own despot, even at the cost of their own children, what does the world owe that country? Not much, if anything, I'm afraid...
