The manner in which this whole thing is calculated makes me sick. The war cannot last until the summer, otherwise it will be too hot and uncomfortable for the soldiers. It could not be before the second week of December either, since the Administration of course could not antagonize the Muslims at home for attacking Iraq during the holy month of Ramadan. And here is the best: They could not possibly attack before the end of the year, because the holiday period is when consumers are most inclined to CONSUME in capital letters, and we all know that has been the only support for the economy throughout 2002 and we would not want Joe Sixpack to camp in front of his TV set flicking between news channels, consuming only popcorn and beer, instead of spending money. Come January, after the holidays and the shopping spree, get ready for the action.
