OT There must be something about Alaskan winters! Recently, you presented your "doom and gloom" outlook for the economy, and here, your "UnRosy" scenario is equally glum. 1. We can leave and Iraq will not "collapse into chaos." The Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis will divide the country and their antagonism will be moderated by their need to look over their shoulders at the US and its military. 2. Our "client" states, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, etc., are not really our "clients" and their militaries will not allow them to be overthrown because of US policy. 3. We will not "lose the War on Terrorism." The rest of the world understands the message of Afghanistan. That message says that if the US identifies an address for terrorism, that address will be bombed into oblivion. Most of the people and nations of the world understand that the Bin Ladens have nothing to offer but destruction and a distorted vision of a return to the 7th Century. Just as the economy will be managed and the "Cold War" was managed, the "War on Terrorism" will be managed. Stocks will surpass the all time highs while the "War on Terrorism" continues.
