How come it only says Redstar is the last poster?

Edit: Wars are good for economies. America's economy was on the down. Maybe another reason for war?

Well, the war has obviously been played in such a way as to be a market-boosting tool and a tool for imperialist expansion.

The stock market is neither good or evil, it just is. In the course of 3 days, my portfolio grew by 10%. Yeah baby. Were having filet mingon and lobster for Sunday dinner!

The stock market makes people rich while the workers do not advance. Wage labour allows the stock market to exist...

The invisible hand of the market is everywhere. It reacts to everything and it IS Capitalism. It is the power of Capitalism, where true power lies today, and it represents it`s interests. Therefore we come to the conclusion that blood, war and Imperialist plans (public and well known) to exploit Iraqi resources are in Capitalist interests and so are probably a causation factor of this war.

If you`ve been paying atention this conclusion is derived simply from the common notion that the Market represents Capitalist interests. That is important because this is a consensual premiss. Market reactions to this war are a direct indictment to the corrupt motivations behind this war.

I imagine that when the people who support this war see news reports of Market reactions they shun and hope it goes unnoticed.

El Che, the people who see there stocks rise cheer, regardless of why they went up.

Your point is? I do not doubt that Iraqi men have died. I am willing to accept the possibility of women and children have died, but that is uncertain. Do you have any evidence to support that women and children are starving?

There are sanctions against Iraq of such things as water purification crystals, which in its self makes those who enforce the sanctions inhumane.
