It's a sad day in America when one looks to the prospect of war to fix an economic crisis.

We wouldn't even be talking about Iraq if it wasn't for our poor economy. It only goes to show you how bad things really are -- which no one wants to admit to. They want us to believe that everything is okay here and the real problem is Saddam. Yeah right.

These are my comments on an earlier FR thread discussing homeland security.

I wonder what the sentiment would be if the economy was booming, the 401s were flush and Bush wanted to attack Iraq. A move that could crash a good economy.

I think the good economy and the money in the swollen 401s is why Clinton didn't get impeached. The sheeple were worried about losing their assets if he got impeached, and the uncertainty might cause the top heavy stock market to crash.

It has crashed since then and now they don't have to worry about that, so they are ready for a war. - Tom

ps Don't get me wrong I think we have to do in Saadam, it's just that it is an easier sell now. Americans given the choice of worrying about their asses or assets will come down on the assets side. But now that the assets are gone they will worry about their asses. - Tom
