DC9 within 2 mi of runway, tower cleared B727 for takeoff. B727 delayed takeoff resulting in the DC9 making a go around. Tower pointed out departing jetstream traffic on the go around but could not visually spot it. Saw on TCASII TA but no evasive action required.

Narrative:
Inside 2 mi on final approach, msp tower cleared a B727 for takeoff. We didn't think it was going to work. It didn't. On short final at 200 ft AGL, tower gave us a go around due to B727 still on takeoff roll. This caused passenger concern/anxiety, extra 1200 pounds fuel burn and a 13 min late arrival, as well as a potential conflict with a departing jetstream. ATC asked 3 or 4 times if we had the jetstream in sight. This was avoidable. Msp tower should not have cleared B727 for takeoff with us 'inside 2 mi' (tower controller's words). A low altitude go around is not something that we like to have to do.

Title: DC9 WITHIN 2 MI OF RWY, TWR CLRED B727 FOR TKOF. B727 DELAYED TKOF RESULTING IN THE DC9 MAKING A GAR. TWR POINTED OUT DEPARTING JETSTREAM TFC ON THE GAR BUT COULD NOT VISUALLY SPOT IT. SAW ON TCASII TA BUT NO EVASIVE ACTION REQUIRED.
Narrative: INSIDE 2 MI ON FINAL APCH, MSP TWR CLRED A B727 FOR TKOF. WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING TO WORK. IT DIDN'T. ON SHORT FINAL AT 200 FT AGL, TWR GAVE US A GAR DUE TO B727 STILL ON TKOF ROLL. THIS CAUSED PAX CONCERN/ANXIETY, EXTRA 1200 LBS FUEL BURN AND A 13 MIN LATE ARR, AS WELL AS A POTENTIAL CONFLICT WITH A DEPARTING JETSTREAM. ATC ASKED 3 OR 4 TIMES IF WE HAD THE JETSTREAM IN SIGHT. THIS WAS AVOIDABLE. MSP TWR SHOULD NOT HAVE CLRED B727 FOR TKOF WITH US 'INSIDE 2 MI' (TWR CTLR'S WORDS). A LOW ALT GAR IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE LIKE TO HAVE TO DO.
