As to who is "pulling" GWB's strings

My concern was who was pulling Tony Blairs strings. The impression I get is, like the rest of the world, the majority of the British population are against an attack on Iraq.

How can we blame "sellers" (investment banks) for selling something that investors want??

The problem perceived is the Federal Reserve Bank.

OK enough -g- We need another thread if it's going to be discussed further. It's OT here.

My belief is that investment banks really don't care whether they are selling government or corporate bonds.

Agreed. But Rothbard is a hard money guy. He doesn't believe that anything but precious metal (gold) is money. He thinks paper money is the root of all evil.

So giving the Fed the ability to print money is anathema to Rothbard.
