"Certainly I am uncertain about Iraq. It just may be that Iraq is next. I also fail to understand why going after Iraq prevents or interferes with progress on the war against Al-Qaeda." OBL/AQ are still operating. "I would think short-term the market may not like Iraq, but there will be economic benefit from success. The one positive about war with the oil producing states is that they can pay for much of the war, and the standard of living for the average person can still rise." I don't know which states have signed up to pay for this and I don't see how the standard of living for the average person will rise. More important I do not see democracy introduced into the OPEC nation in the near or far future. ""No, they hate what is happening to the Palestinians." "Who do they perceive is doing this to the Palestinians? I think we disagree on this point. It looks like hate to me."" Hamas hates Israel. All Arabs are not Hamas. regards, Noel
