JONESBORO, Ark.: The death count has risen to five in Arkansas after two camouflage-clad boys -- aged 11 and 13 -- opened fire on middle school students assembling for a fire alarm Tuesday. Eleven others are wounded...
Unless, of course, you think we're fast approaching a market top. My best Wall Street sources are in awe at how far stocks have risen in the past three years, and privately many say they are bracing for a fall. They won't necessarily be right.

Bombing such a beleaguered people seems simply inhumane, especially if alternative means are available to accomplish what the U.S. seeks. Unnecessary force is cruel and unconscionable when other policy options are available...
