I think the question is why. Is it normal market forces or is special? In business speak, is it common-cause or special-cause? In this case it's special-cause, ultimately due to a government that was asleep at the switch and failed to protect the nation's economic security. Think of it this way: let's say all kinds of Iranian experts told Obama that an Iranian nuke launch on America was imminent and that Obama must do something right away. Further, they provided factual physical evidence to support their claim. If Obama did nothing, if his entire administration including the defense department, et al simply poo-pooed the idea that any was the matter, you'd prolly go ape-shit if/when the attack happened. Welp, that's exactly what happened in this case: President Bush was warned at all levels of his government that the nation's economic security was at risk and he/they ignored the warnings and the evidence. To this day there are people right here on this list that think his massive negligence is just fine. So concept is that this was a preventable special-cause occurrence due to failure of our government leaders to do what we hire them too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:289250 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
