just read a little on the U.S. security issue, and the author was throwing it out there that we all need to look at how terrorist groups view the new administration. What would be more beneficial to the goals of those groups, a lowering of hostilities, or another large attack in the U.S. ?The author also threw out the idea that the reason there were no more attacks on U.S. soil was that Al Qaeida might have felt that it may have removed Bush from office, the man who had already done exactly what they wanted,getting the world to invade Muslim lands. Anyhow, I won't ramble on,as I really am not smart enough to, but seeing how devastating another attack could be to the financial markets, we all should take that into consideration when investing. The only other thing i want to put out there,is the 9/11 attacks happened less than a year into the Bush presidency,and those wanting to make a statement on Obama,may also chose the same time frame. Let's all pray nothing terrible happens, but we must factor all this into our investment decisions at this time.
