4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Norbert. But somehow, the sentence still doesn't make much sense when you substitute the words like this: "The slower market growth reflected the weaker external environment as well as softer domestic demand arising from the time before the Iraq war." Could just the *time before* an event give rise to something?"
