nuclear weapons
“Make no mistake, President Bush will need to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities before leaving office,” wrote American Enterprise Institute analyst Joshua Muravchik. Craig Unger wrote in this month’s Vanity Fair that not all of President Bush’s advisers are pleased with this idea.
Richard Perle, a former Bush official said he has little doubt that Bush will order a strike against Iran. A section of the military command was ordered to draw up plans against Iraq. Others also have “chimed in” with more warnings.

nuclear weapons
United Nations inspectors were not allowed to set up cameras at an underground plant where 3000 centrifuges are to be installed for full-fledged enrichment of nuclear fuel. Iran’s announcement of the enhanced nuclear program is scheduled during Islamic Revolution celebrations that will run through February 11. Not letting the International Atomic Energy Agency set up cameras is not illegal as long as nuclear activity has not begun.
One diplomat, who wished to remain unnamed, said that Iran has an attitude of no transparency when the issue is their nuclear program. The U.N. sanctions against Iran are termed illegal according to the Iranian leadership.
Uranium gas processed from ore is fed into the centrifuges that run at supersonic speed to boost the fissile element for nuclear fuel. Uranium enriched to five percent can run power plants and enriched to eighty percent can detonate bombs.

There is a rule out there that goes something like this: if the NFC team (Bears) win the Super Bowl, the stock market moves higher and if the AFC team wins (Colts) the stock market moves lower.
There is some historic validity to this. Pondering that the NFC teams have generally been around longer and they usually win more than not has something to do with it. But remember, the Colts are an old NFL team, moving into the AFC when the AFL-NFL merger took place. This is the Colts’ third Super Bowl: SB III when they were in the NFL and were upset by the New York Jets and SB V when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys. The Colts were the AFC team in SB V as the merger started after SB IV.
With this in mind, could the stock market move higher if either teams wins?

war on terror
A compelling article co-written by Dick Morris spells out a complication when dealing with Iran. Iran has stood out as a focal point of global terrorism. The leadership in Iran has vowed to “wipe Israel off the map”. This can’t be ignored, and isn’t ignored by the Bush Administration, especially when Secretary of State Condi Rice has said several times that Iran is the major obstacle to Middle-East peace.
Morris and McGann spell out the problem: that Iran will collectively be asssumed to be a sub-set of Iraq. To be sure, Iran has sent insurgents to Iraq and has several times invoked a heightened terrorism threat to Iraq’s structure. The American people my see Iran and Iraq as the same thing, which is not the way to go about it, according to the article. Iran is trying to gain more influence in Iraq.
Morris and McGann lay out a plan to destroy Iran’s economy by cutting off investments to companies that invest in Iran. The non-gas and oil economy is falling apart and the Bush Administration should propose Americans to divest with companies that invest with terror-states. Iran is vunerable and an increased effort to keep investments away from them is a step in the right direction.
