Mike,

Happy to hear about the big bucks, make sure you're fully vested in real estate <g>

<The worst possible outcome would be some sort of UAR combination out of Iran and Iraq. >

It could probably get worse than that. How about an UMR stretching from Mauritania to Indonesia?...a hell Malaysia. It seems that over the past 20 years, the pan-Islamic movement has replaced pan-Arabism. We are starting to see this again in Iraq. Personally, I think that this is an unavoidable outcome, the only question is whether it takes 20 years or 100. One thing for sure, this invasion of Iraq has definitely accelerated the process.

<Right now, a democratic election in Iraq would probably elect a mullah.>
Yep, putting some money on that one is 'like taking candy from the baby'. Here is another prediction, we will not see a free election in Iraq as long as the US is there.

<My market remarks are now highly regulated>
Now I am really depressed <g>.

All the best Mike.
