bluesman,

sure as hell looks that way, doesn't it? what should have been a smashing victory is now a stalemate of sorts.

however, i am absolutely convinced of final victory. the world economy has, despite oil shocks and terrorist attacks, grown at the fastest pace in the last 10 years than in all of previous history. our resources grow. and if the terrorists strike back- well, all i can say is, the greater their tactical victory, the worse the strategic defeat. the japanese found that out, to their detriment.
