if you had to give a two-word answer to these questions about a possible war in Iraq, what would it be?A two-word answer? Isn't this the problem with email lists? That they try to address burning questions in a minimalist fashion? If I were going to answer these questions seriously, the first thing I would do is get up to speed on Iraqi history and the geopolitics of oil.
Major impacts on the world economy?
Major effects on intra regional trade in the middle east?
Major effects on middle east states’ extra regional trade relations (mainly oil)
Major social repercussions (education, health services, job creation, migration, communal relations etc....)
Major effects on the economy of the individual middle east states
(By the way, Soula, you should be aware that you habitually neglect to delete text in a message that you are replying to that is not immediately relevant to your reply. I have seen you post a 1 sentence reply to a 2,000 word post. This is not a very wise use of the people's bandwidth.)
