Elroy, I have heard that King George II values physical fitness highly. And, I dare say, religiosity. Neither of which seems like a good qualification for running a money system. Being physically fit is no bad thing and probably quite good for mental processing too, though Stephen Hawking is one of the least fit people on the planet and his mental processing abilities seem to have worked just fine for a couple of decades. Superstition, aka religiosity, is to me a large negative for anything, other than perhaps suicide missions in defence of family or ideology, or self-sacrifice in the service of the alpha male.

Elroy, Re: "Bernanke" I have been hearing for years, even before Bush that Bernanke was likely to follow Greenspan. He does seem to be really close to Bush, though. Just another neocon, I suppose. Iraq to me is a sort of puzzle as there are so many interests involved. Maybe there is some crony capitalism involved (Haliburton ect.) but then there is the Israeli lobby that wants us with a strong permanent military presence there nearby to Israel. Even Democrats like Lieberman have to be pleased, dispite any complaning. And there is the idea of displacing the Chicoms before they get a strong foothold there. You know, China is one place with very little Zionist penetration as far as I know and so on that count alone the Israeli lobby may have an another reason to desire the USA to be in Iraq and maybe Iran too. And Bernanke is surely one of their number so he may desire to create an environment were endless warfare or occupation is possible. Slagle
