What's happening in the markets is a direct result of Bush's preemptive war in Iraq.

Amidst a patriotic moment
Their celebration was paused for prayer.
And God hearing their call, sent down the limbs of his slaughtered children,
And silenced their arrogant tongues.
The road to Baghdad leads to perdition,
And eternal damnation of the heart of man.

2. Kipling

Now it is not good for the Christian's health to hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles and he weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: "A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East."
