Hmm.. not managing money well and abusing credit. Sounds a lot like Reagan and Bush with their deficits.

Although I agree with you to some extent, I don't think there have been any lessening concerns. In fact, concerns about instability have done nothing if not grow larger. If anything, I'm far more worried about the future of the Middle East now than I was when Saddam was in power. It may have been a tyrannical regime, but it was also a relatively stable one. I think the administration's heavy-handed efforts have caused a lasting resentment in the region that was not as intense before. If anything they have created more terrorists... I can only hope that the bungling will be reduced to a minimum in the future.

I agree and probaley should of been clearer. What I meant to indicate was that during the time of war, and leading up to it, there was a lot of concern from investors and companies which in turn drove down the stock market and cut into company value (not to mention shortening consumer confidence). After the war entered it's end (in terms of major combat), it was no suprise that the stock market went from around sub-9000 to over 10,000+. My point was not to say that the threat is gone, but just that the war stalled the economy by putting uncertainty in employers/investors with regard to the foreign markets and how the war would effect them.
"Do you really NEED a $300k house"
If I needed a house for more than 3 people and not live in the hood. Average cost of a house in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area is over $200k. And thats for a 2 bed 1-1.75 bath. My wife and I are looking for a townhouse. In a good area, we are looking at spending $175-200k. Yes I could go by a house on Broadway (the highest crime area in Minneapolis) for around $150k+. But if you are investing in a home, you sure as hell want it in a good neighborhood so its valus grows as much as possible.

No you idiot, it was in response to the (now closed) other election poll.
