If a major WMD attack occurs in a big city or more than one, we can expect the market and the economy to collapse. As it happens here, so goes the world. All the western economies will collapse. All global commerce will cease, all air travel will cease for the most part.

Fifty years ago perhaps.
Today? No way.

Y2K rotted your brain.

I wish you were correct-the truth however, is that WE ARE the world-the world's stability, inspiration & guide. Our dollar slips a few points ( vs the euro ) in last week & the world markets quiver. We are the least socialist nation-all the rest rot in their sordid stew of sewage.

If the 911 planes had hit the Exchange-we would all be eating tree barkl by now. We might not NOW fold like a house of cards-but we would all suffer beyond our worst dreams if they shut us down with bio-weapons or nukes. The Baltics 'leaked' back-packs when the Soviets collapsed.
