re: The trade possibilities over the next 50 years with the Middle East, BECAUSE we are bringing democracy there, are limitless. You will see McDonalds and Walmart in Baghdad before it is overwith -- it may be a while, but it will happen. Maybe we should include that in the letters to the families of the kids that are killed in Iraq. "Your son/daughter died for the shareholders of Walmart and McDonalds". And it's nice to see my "out of pocket expense" (taxes) are eventually going to go to those shareholders. What an idiot. You make me sick. John

To assume that we are going to have net out of pocket expense on this war effort is naive. The trade possibilities over the next 50 years with the Middle East, BECAUSE we are bringing democracy there, are limitless. You will see McDonalds and Walmart in Baghdad before it is overwith -- it may be a while, but it will happen. I have never been served a burger by a cashier in body armor... Al
