Not really a cartoon, so if it's not allowed...sorry.

Remember back in Desert Storm when we decided not to invade Iraq?

As for the economy, it's a bit more volatile than those figures show.

This will have knock-on effects as the sub-prime home loans deficit hits the fan, as must be obvious. Hedge funds are restructuring...it may well all kick in before the election, which will be bad for whoever wins. Else one can but hope it will all be sorted without too much hardship.
Actually, I rather hope it does stabilise....after all, it's my money too.

All of these point to an upward trend in the US economy.

Also, the stocks are going down right now but if you pulled a graph out for the past year or past two years you would see an overwhelming upward overall trend. Stocks do go up and down its the trends you are looking for. One bad day can be fixed by the one good day.
