I have heard the seige of bagdad being compared to ceasers siege of Alesia in the middle of the 1st century bc,the similarities are there.ie a technologicly superior army vs a numericly superior one,a seige involving a fortified city on ,the besieging army in the middle and a large relief force threatening to break the siege.The romans built two walls one to prevent excape from the city ,one to with hold relieving forses,the romans encamped in the middle defeating first one then the other. The Conqest of Gaul is a great read for those interested in warfare and public relations.Ceaser wrote it to promote the senates and publics opinion of him.

Art, Agreed. When the war ends, I believe that the peace will unmask the basic economic environment for each commodity, company. My guess is that we are seeing cycles with the development of the Internet similar to the development of railroads circa 1820-1920. ten year surges, followed by retraction and ten-year consolidation of the industry. Then the cycle repeats itself. We just had our initial 10-year surge a-la the 1820's when railroads first exploded upon the scene. Now we will see an 1830's style period of consolidation, just my guess...
