I think the nature and extent of this "war" is being over-blown. I don't think it needs to be all that widespread and I don't think there needs to be action against more in numbers than were killed at the WTC. You don't need to wipe out the Taliban. Just show them they were on the wrong course in supporting Ben Laden. So they have to be kept at bay while we deal with Ben. Then we can leave and they can rethink their prior actions. Their fate still rests in their own hands.

Brian, the article says >Most industries would also be vulnerable if there was a lengthy U.S. military campaign. Oil prices would rise, U.S. demand would fall, although there would be minimal impact if U.S. action was short lived.< Debatable, but not here. Since more than one poster has asked about OSX and NG investing, allow me to refer to jim_p. For understanding of the energy biz he has few peers and, more important, he has a good sense of timing.
