>> I think you doubled the number. It's big enough without you inflating it for dramatic effect. << if you notice i didn't say 10,000 people died. all you have to do is watch the news for a few minutes to see that it is around 5,000. the death toll could have certainly seen 10,000 if other hijackings weren't thwarted on that day so my hypothetical was reasonable. >> As for inflation in the economy, that sometimes goes with war, but don't think yourself smart for predicting it. If it comes, it's not for reasons you could have predicted << first of all you don't know what i was predicting, so don't act as if you know. furthermore, the underlying reasons are not important, only the outcome. as long as i can predict the outcome i don't have to worry about what specifically precipitated it.
