Pion and kaon observables are calculated using a Dyson-Schwinger Bethe
-Salpeter formalism, It is shown that an infrared finite gluon propaga
tor can lead to quark confinement via generation of complex mass poles
in quark propagators. Observables, including electromagnetic form fac
tors, are calculated entirely in Euclidean metric for spacelike values
of bound state momentum and final results are extrapolated to the phy
sical region, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
