that's interesting. it's sort of the opposite of the 4th of july for us....this
is the first i've ever heard of it and they've been celebrating for several
centuries.

"Or is it news worthy that perhpas Major Hasan publicly stated that Muslims
should rise up against the insurgents (in Iraq
andAfghanastan)?"........depending on your point of view....the Americans
could be considered insurgents..
definition of insurgent: somebody belonging to a group involved in an uprising
against the government or ruler of a country.

sounds like we fit that definition.

the market use to hesitate at any type of actions or threats.....now we just
don't care and have gotten complacent again....so much for backgound checks.
must be part of the don't ask don't tell movement.

Virginia

it wasn't a lopez nor a johnson, nor an o'neil, nor a resloznic.....WASHINGTON
– Officials say a shooting suspect at Fort Hood has been identified as Maj.
Malik Nadal Hasan
hmmm, I wonder where he's from?

umm when the news first broke no one knew who was doing the shooting ......i
remember when an aircraft wrecked into an apartment building (with a small
explosion too small for what terrorrists normally use)....at the time that it
affected the market...no one knew what type of aircraft nor who was flying it.

Incidents like this have no effect on the stock market. This was a soldier that
went crazy on the military base, not a terrorist attack.
