Quote from MondoTrader:
The thread was started because someone was feeling sick over ther market rally while a city was "being obliterated".
First of all Bagdad is far from "obliterated". Every missile and every bomb is going to a very specific target. THE ELECTRICITY IS STILL ON for christ sake! Watch the news, even CNN will tell you that this is precision bombing aimed at government buildings and military targets. We have journalists standing on roof tops and balconies watching the attack as if it were a fireworks display, in full confidence that their building is safe! If you want to see "obliteration" watch the history channel and see what europe looked like during WWII. ]
Let me get this straight. I make a statement on Friday which reflected my feeling that we were maybe celebrating a little too much as we began a major bombing campaign, and you are going to come back 4 days later and question the terminology I was using. While I feel this war is necessary, I am not going to celebrate everytime I see death and destruction.
By the way, thanks for the history lesson. I had no idea there was so much damage done during WWII.
