To all the naysayers…
To all the naysayers who “naysaid” that the war in Iraq would destabilize the region, here’s a bit of news that would refute that:

(MENAFN) Almost all stock markets in the Arab world ended 2003 on a positive note. The Kuwait Stock Exchange, the best performing Arab stock market in 2003, closed the week on Wednesday up 1.68 percent to 4,790.20 points. The KSE closed the year up 101.6 percent.
