Is He Pooping His Pants?
No, he's just consternated at the Dow's latest misfortune: it's dropped below 8,000 for the first time in three months. The market's slide has been precipitated by fears that a new war, undertaken without European consent, will wreck the economy.
So, where does this leave us? U.S. domestic opinion is turning steadily against war, World opinion is decidedly against war, U.S. allies are (at least for the moment) bristling, Tony Blair's own party is divided, the U.S. military establishment has issued warnings, and now the U.S. business community is getting cold feet.
Meaning? Well, what else? Full steam ahead!
