...clear a road alongside his ice plant connecting him to the adjacent district of Shuhada, Idham said he is snatching up land and industrial facilities at bargain prices from owners who can no longer wait for the government compensation. "I know Fallujah will be back," he said. "It will prosper even better than it used to. Just wait...
...easy to convince a nation or a world to respect, much less support, institutions committed to challenging society’s fundamental assumptions. But it is our obligation to make that case: both to explain our purposes and to achieve them so well that these precious institutions survive and prosper in this new century.

Ravi Batra's The Great Depression of 1990 hit No. 1 in 1987. Ruff's book did in fact ring in several very bad years, and there was a recession in 1990. But doom was averted, the economy came roaring back both times, and the lesson learned was that betting against the continued prosperity of the U.S. was a losing strategy...
