Snowshoe,
The mules to Greece angle is news to me but I guess it made sense. About that time tractors were really becoming widespread even on small farms and I guess a bunch of mules, mainly the mules that made the WWII cotton crops, were being forced into retirement and to the glue factory.

And about that time, 1947 and 1948 the Brits dumped the Greece/Turkey security problem in our laps so I guess the mules may have been an element of our response to the crisis.

Been reading another Whittaker Chambers biography, with the main events in play at about this same time. Very interesting period.

There's no reason for optimism yet. What we have seen in the past week was just the financial authorities reaction to the collapse of Fannie and Freddie.

That arrested oil skyrocketing and made oil dropped a bit. The attack, I men a concerted attack on the root cause will only be possible by a G-8 + 5 accord creating a new world economic order.
