#2 Apparently, the Indian version of the DJIA was off as much as 17% (http://money.cnn.com/2004/05/17/news/international/india_markets.reut/index.htm). If Bush were expected to win handily and then Kerry won instead, the DJII probably would probably tank but not anywhere near as much (I hope).

#3 I'd argue that the left migh just be more dangerous than terrorists.

If you think about how leftist/socialist policies destroy wealth and jobs, you;ll see some evidence of this.

How many people starve in Africa because of leftist outdated economic systems?

How many billions in shareholder wealth has been destroyed in India by the leftist victory?

How many high paying new jobs will not get created?

The effect is not a striking as a terrorist attack- no 3000 people murdured in a single act. But over time, it is just as deadly.
