The difference, Larry, is that they and their spokespeople are trying
to SWAY American opinion.  Why?  The reason is obvious- they want US
troops, US protection and US money.  If it isn't being requested yet,
it'll be requested soon.

Ha!  Just wait and see. . .

Nope- I never did a farm deal in my life.  Back in the 1970's there
was a big fad among lenders to do farm loans.  I ran a few
spreadsheets on my own and told our producers to avoid farm lending
like the plague.  The loans didn't make any sense- and neither did the
appraisals based upon the income approach to value.  I concluded that
farming was merely a very expensive hobby.

My field was office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses,
industrial, tax frees and sale-leasebacks.

Here's to the land of the Longleaf Pine,
The Summerland, where the sun doth shine.
Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great,
Here's to Downhome, the Old North State.
