To set the record straight, President Bush did not pick the fight with Iraq. A group of terrorists backed by saddam hussein did.
India and Pakistan didn't try to hit NYC with jumbo jets loaded with fuel. A group of terrorists backed by saddam hussein did.
The "situation" with N. Korea has been with "us" since the Korean war. It hit the news-mongers as "gee, we ought to report this 'cause it makes for more papers sold, and look at the profits". Same with TV. It's a matter of sensationalism.
BTW, President Bush at this point in time has no plans to go up against Korea, and it would be better (at least at this point in time) to not do so. To agree with you, spend money on Korea.
The economic hassle was set in place before President Bush got into office, due mostly to the collapse of the stock market bubble that had formed around the internet. and the changeout position of the potential Y2K problem, which turned out to be much less serious than most suspected. More media hype. Heck, the pro's had started solving this hassle back in 1997. However, Y2K did lead to over-capicity, but at this point in time I see a need to replace the PC's that were bought way back when. Check out the earnings of DELL today.
The market is starting to turn around. Much of the huge movements, up or down, are caused by the "traders" who are unwilling to sit on a stock for any period of time. The LARGE funds are unwilling to take any position at all.
Bottom line, "You don't pay a dog to not bite you, you, instead, eliminate the dog". This should have been done back in both the Bush (sr.), and clinton (do nothing) era.
