Yes, but it will get the press to forget about Monica and follow the big story. Doesn't the market usually go up with a war? I know WS hates uncertainty....So it could definitely trigger a big slide? I currently have no long positions. And am sad I'm not holding Ascend. I do however feel it is now overbought...and may enter on next retracement. Sitting on a pile of cash, Jeff

Sector, Excelent post and you are so correct, IMO this should have ended during the Gulf War. I think that was a big mistake letting this anti-christ live and now it could come back to haunt the whole world. This is one crazy S.O.B. with no regard to human life including his own people.

Some of your questions answered: If we blast the anthrax facilities, the gas spores will burn in the explosion, causing minimal risk. As far as I know, ground troop activity will be minimal if any...especially if the idiots in saudi arabia won't let us use their facilities. WWW 3? hardly.... according to madeline albright....any military activity is still "weeks" (She was asked this morning on the timeline, would it be weeks months or days, she said it would not me months, or days...but weeks away...) this gives us some time for a rally to continue into this week.....

OT Sector, the Saudis today refused the U.S. request to harbor aircraft on their soil. I'm concerned as well, but I think that there won't any action, (if there is any at all), until May or June. You may remember my comments about Wolf Blitzer a few weeks ago. I am keeping track of journalist movement into Iraq. In any event, your son will be fine. pete

--OT-- The other question is: What if Iraq is near completion (heavens forbid, already developed) of a doomsday device of mass destruction -- either nuclear or biological, and we don't stop him now? (Where is that 6 to 8 oz of missing uranium unaccounted for since the breakup of the Soviet Union?) I was living over in Saudi during the Gulf War, and that bunker that was destroyed by a SCUD, killing 200 Americans, was only a couple blocks from my compound, in Dhahran. I would be in support of military action...in fact, I would have preferred Bush to have finished the job back in '90-'91; he should have supported the Kurdish revolt after the Gulf War, thus uniting the two factions against Saddam. This would have spared the innocent Iraqi people 7 years of grief...instead, the US appears to be a bully -- effectively encouraging heightened anti-west sentiment in the Mid-East. Individuals like Saddam are infections that need to be wiped out before they get a chance to fester and become terminal. Remember the cost of not opposing Hitler in the 30s as soon as he began his aggressions towards his neighbors. Style Pts.

Sector OT* << as I have a desert trained son currently on Okinawa.>> Probably nothing to worry about especially considering Okinawa is so far away from where I'm at here in Japan (near Nagoya) but we just had a pretty big earthquake tremor about 10 minutes ago. It was comparable to when the Kobe quake hit a few years ago but if the epicenter was near here then it was pretty much a nonevent however if the epicenter was far away then............well I just heard on the news it looks like the epicenter was near Nagano and only registered about a three (about a 2 where I'm at). Also no worries about tsunami (tidal waves) although Tim might be bummed about not being able to ride one of those babies. Nothing to worry about although I almost took a dive under my dining table:) Just one of the things you have to accept when you live on an island of faults (earthquake faults that is). regards Pheonix
