Commentary: Connecting the Dots

Connecting dots is tricky business and we cannot be sure that the
coincidence of the President's visit to Israel, the Persian Gulf
incident, and the jump in the stock market means that the President is
trading war against Iran for an infusion of Israeli money into Treasury
bonds, or into the stock market itself. If the connection is correct,
however, such a "stimulation" of the economy means, not only an unhuman
genocidal war, but an infusion of money with no production of wealth,
more inflation, and an economically, physically exhausting war.
