Zeev, Would you rather see a big drop again tomorrow or would it be better to gap up, that is if there is not any major news during the night? If there is news I expect it to go as the news goes, which good news would mean going higher and bad news would mean going lower! Hank

From an insert to our symphony performance last night: "When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and, for a time, they seem invincible, but in the end they always fail. Think of it - ALWAYS." -Mahatma Gandhi

>>>Jerome, get your facts straight, more than 50% of the funding for humanitarian agencies that are (or should I say, were) operating in Afghanistan came from the US, at least according to a recent interview I heard on CNN<<< Zeev...you have to reach deeper than CNN....Thats about as bad as using Readers Digest for your technology news. I suggest you use Oxfam (I believe that its one of the largest relief agencies in the world UNICEF and a whole host of Journals put out by relief agencies. Even our own State Department puts out some pretty good analysis of what has to be done. As things progress toward the first encounters I can predict that we will spend about 10,000 (at a cost of 2M per missile) times the money on cruise missiles than we are currently spending on famine relief in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. We are the major provider of food aid in the form of wheat and rice , but its a pittance compared to what we should be doing. Don't bring the Tutu's and the Hutsi's into this. In that war (as well as the war in Liberia) your life span could be measured in hours no matter which side you were on. I once had a correspondent (African)tell me that the most deadly place in the world was Liberia. It was so bad and dangerous reporters would not go there to cover it.(Sorry no CNN coverage). Even when we capture Bin Laden and some of his accomplices the world we not be any safer until address our relationship with the Arab and Muslim world. Exactly what do we want it to be? One of fear, hatred and resentment or one of mutual co-operation? Regards, Jerome
