Alrighty then I disagree. Here's my rational.

Let's suppose:

Saddam is tossed, either by our exposing to his mortal troops that fighting will bring "ouchs" to them, I.E. life.

Then they rebel, as the Northern and Southern opposing forces, along with our help then do the dirty work.

Then the price of oil drops $12 a barrel.

Then, since dividends are being announced by the tech's people start believing in the markets.

The American public gets happy feet. They gather the pennies they still retain and slap 'em back in the market.

Guess maybe not eh?

Some of the major big-cap folks start squeezing out the profits with less corruption.

Then POOF we are back to Oz.

Kinda too optimistic for this big blue marble?
