<The geopolitical isolation of the United States, unique in its history, is bound to have a negative impact on the activities of American corporations operating abroad and on the willingness of foreigners to invest in the United Sates. So the dollar will fall further. > Maybe those isolating the USA and against the war with Saddam/Uday and co are not the same people who have the money which might or might not be invested in the USA. Maybe those with the money are in favour of the war. The US$ has already gone a long way 39 to 57 = 18/39 = nearly 50%. That's a very large move in anyone's book, albeit against a trivial currency, Kiwi$. Against the Euro and Yen it hasn't been such a big move. Mqurice PS: It seems to be pretty much game over for Al Qaeda. They've been losing in all directions. Richard Reid [aka Shoebomber] turned Al Qaeda into farce. The whole show is a bit like the cartoons of elephants squealing at the sight of a mouse. Sure, they hit the jackpot once, on 911, but that was their high point. The rest has been a few murders and bombings [Bali was a big bang, but tiny in the grand scheme of things being not even one large aircraft crash equivalent].
