Why no bail out for Lehman brothers?

Then what could come in there mind for not bailing out Lehman?

If they would have thought that much about wasting money then they would not have attached Iraq because there were people saying not to waste money there and so I am damn sure Tax could never be the reason.

so ur still not convinced ur point is not right...

tats okay...thou shalt b condoned! its all simplified to this:

---Lehman Brothers went greedy n hence acquired huge bad debts....but its collapse will have the effect of a pebble thrown into the lake

--but, AIG is the biggest insurer and if it is allowed to collapse it will have the effect of a godzilla trying 2 swim in the lake/pond..

simply put....Lehman Brothers was just not 2 big 2 bother bailing out....so no need 2 burden the taxpayer more 4 its cause

(here the question will arise, so if big enough, irrespective of whether the company s decisions were reckless n greedy...they ll b bailed out...?? i guess right now "size doth matter"!!

& the Iraq war....lets not get into it...we all know n "Respect" President Bush & his "righteous" "war" against terror blah blah....

NOTE 2 CLAMPED: u still agreeing with Shabbir?!?!?

I'm convinced that the Gov't knows that FPL (energy co), which is deep in with Lehman, will just pay the losses. Also, someone at Lehman didn't kiss the ***es of the government give-away decision makers.
