Robert -- I should point out something about unemployment in Asia -- it is real and rapidly growing. Japan is facing double digit unemployment the way things are going -- it is unheard of -- And in China? Oh my, we are talking tens of millions unemployed -- not farmers, but industrial workers. This creates HUGE political pressure. What these guys do will shock you and me because they will do it for internal political reasons -- shocking things. These governments held onto power for only one reason -- they delivered the goods and/or repressed their own people -- trying doing that in the age of the net when people know they are being screwed. Remember -- the Russian revolution started as a bread riot -- and most other truly weird political missions have roots in economic dislocations.
