agreed, more pernicious when you consider financial hegemony
we securitize our federal debt
thus passing the risk to creditors
we insist on Arab recycling of petrodollars
which forces Arabs to share our economic risk

next: Arabs boycott the USdollar, turning to gold

they will fight the USA on our most vulnerable fronts
DOLLAR, BONDS, AND CONSEQUENTLY STOCKS

Trez market is 5x larger than Stock market
we abuse our financial powers on them
after OPEC quadrupled oil prices, we fuched them over with massive dollar inflation, thus reducing the value of our debts
we vastly increased dollarized fiscal and monetary expansions
they will retaliate on financial terms, plain & simple

World Trade Center was a message to our US Financial world
we errantly interpret it as a general attack on our soil

I agree with you, George
they can easily deal a heavy asymmetric blow to our financial markets next
if they sell their bonds and buy gold
if they are smart, they will hedge with massive Trez rate call options beforehand, and massive Trez Bond and Note futures option put contracts, together with plain TBond short futures contracts
big big liquidity in these markets, esp futures and their options
they can go net neutral if they are smart

I dont know how smart they are
some scarey economics pedigrees show up on the AlQaeda leader resumes

The US will face a terrorist threat as long as it insists on its right to dominate the world

All crimes proliferate when large parts of the population are willing to overlook it because they did not like the victim. We are rapidly reaching a situation where many people will not report terrorists even if they don't exactly support them.
