I realize that I might get my butt kicked here. I thought that Iraq was an economically secure country with a civilized people. I understand that the chief is not elected, but the people were doing OK until that idiot decided to be Empirical. If we back up and still take care of the Kurds, why are we hurting the main population of Iraq? For a guy that lives very far to the right, I can’t understand our thinking. We don’t like the government but we kill the guy on the street. That won’t work. Ten years of this crap has brought us what? You tell me? If you don’t like the bastard go get him. It’s like we will hurt you and we hope that you get mad at Saddam and kill him. That is hard for me to understand. We as a people have to speak up about our foreign policy.

re: "I sense another move by the market to remove wealth from the populace." While you are probably right it may not be a wise move to act on that sense until the trend is clearly down. In September 29 billion left equity funds and the market dropped big. In October 4 billion came in and the market recovered nearly all of that drop. There's a lot of cash on the sidelines with nowhere to go, and it's earning less with every rate cut. Since money is basically free now, how much is cash on the sidelines worth? Bond yields have also topped out. The market is the only place that's going up now. In other words it's the only game in town. I have raised a little cash but that's mostly out of concern of another terrorist attack attempt.
