The key is fringe groups. My question is this what moderate muslims belieave in. And what we consider moderate muslims, in the west are actually radical liberals to other muslims. The ones who belieave in pluralism and sexual freedoms to both sexes.

But vhehn, we dont live under christian or religious laws. They do. For the smallest infracture, its a death sentence. Like walking out of the house without a covering, for woman, death sentence. Speaking against god. Death sentence. These are the same people who were burning cars and...

well isnt that true in every country. Do you think billionaires here will ever go to jail for public drunkeness? Do you think paris hilton would go to jail for a hit and run? No. thats true in every country. The elites get privlige rights, while the rest have to deal with the other rules.

but jz, bush claimed democracy was the answer. Thats why american troops are in the middleeast. Bringing democracy. Why are people dying in iraq for then. to me, it just sounds like bush brought in more hardline radicals, and kicked out others. Isnt democracy grand :D

Im just wondering if this is what george bush, thinks democracy will bring to the middleeast. Already, in a democratic afghanistan, a man is being tried for converting to chritianity. This isnt the taliban, but a democratically elected government. Wow is creating democracy in the middle east...

I thought jim rogers was self clearning and had prime with goldman.

the moral implications of the war, occupation, nation building scheme, what ever is beyond the scope of this thread. We are focusing on the economics of its all. There is 2 schools of thought on this thread. One this war is good for the economy because it shifts billions of dollers into the...

well is this a war or semi occupation, with a spurt of nation building. If we are talking about colonism type thing where we are inserting democracy, then there is a historical basis for being costly to the economy. It caused the downfall of the british empire and french empires.

well afford, as in it can get the money, yeah but not without fiscal and economic drawbacks. You cant just spend 500 billion without cutting back on some of the icing on the cake. Like cap gain, dividend, and general tax cuts. If your going todo both, your going to increase the deficit and...

Its actually well over 350-500 billion so far. But records for the cost of the war are flakey at best. B/c some people discount the rebuilding of iraq costs, and only include the military costs. Also its not the US's oil. there are 110 billion barrels, but americans will have to pay for that...

But we are approaching half a trillion dollers for iraq, not including afghanistan. If we are talking about 08 and beyond like president bush suggests, we are talking in the trillions of dollers. I just dont see that as a fair investment. Especially if you have other economic and political...

well depends on who you talk to. Alot of people are talking about limited occupation. Like oilfields, and strategic cities. Im more concerned with the economic repercussions of staying in iraq. alot of investors were hoping for a speedy withdrawal. But it looks like it will be beyond 2008...

President Bush has made it clear regardless of civil war or no civil war the united states will be in iraq and afghanistan beyond 2008, and it would be up for future presidents to decide if the united states will be in iraq/afghanistan/ and possibly iran. What are the economic repercussions of...

I thought they would do something more cool. Maybe provide deeper historical quotes. Like something back into the late 1800's. You could do searches for companies in that era. After google map came out, i was expecting more. I thought google might have even provided near realtime quotes.

Im impressed. And this is just the beta. I liked how they finally incorporated the news function with the charting function. Now they have to incorporate more advance charting functions, but this is just the beta so we will have to see.

its on cnbc bulleye right now

Is anybody positioning themselve for bernake, or is it a non situation.

I doubt they will have like seperate time zone commission schedule. If you put that up with the staff required to handle 24 hour type deal, commissions on an average basis will go up.
