Hi Mike, <<The US may attack Iraq, but that's as far down your list as I think we'll go and very likely not that far>>

You may be right about how far we travel down the list, barring unintended consequences and uncontrolled chain reactions. I get nervous when presented with too many simultaneous equations of multitude of variables, all looking to one CNN chant-able common solution set.

You think you see the solution. I know I do not know what will result.

<<World War III is not around the corner>> I would agree with you here, but yikes, I believe all around the globe preparations for III will pick up pace. Bullish for GDP per Epstein, and for technology progress per Maurice.

Chugs, Jay

The increase in military spending and the tax reductions smell of Ronny Reagan. Mutatis mutandis: evil empire -> evil axis, 198* -> 200*, Berlin Wall -> Bagdad (or Al Quds?...think dirty...) things look very much similar.

1987 the US$ exchange got back to normal and the same for the stock exchange. Others would call it US$-devaluation and market crash.
