So this is it. The US is attacking Iraq. It's a sad day. I just came back from the "town meeting" that Steger and the gang set up in the coliseum. They were talking about the need for police presences at all public gatherings, 24-hour security guards in all free-access buildings, and how they would help international students. It seemed almost surreal. Like Tech would be a prime terrorist target.

I see this war as a sign that the man in the White House no longer respects the opinions of the public or the world. Many civilians will die, our economy will be wrecked, and our name thorughout the world will be tarnished because one man thought we should have a war.

I feel ashamed for my country.

At last check, the Dow Jones Industrials were up 10 points, or 0.1 percent, to 8,275. The Nasdaq Composite Index was better by 4 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,401 and the S&P 500 was up 1 points, or 0.1 percent, to 875.


Whee, a whole 10 points. Excuse me while I call my broker.
