>>and this is also mostly achieved by the military might and patronage of the US (no different than protection money in your downtown night club).<<

I find this statement outrageous. Are you actually saying that the US is compelling exporting countries to hold dollar balances via military threats? Do you actually believe that China and Japan and Europe hold dollars because of actual or implied threats that the US will attack them militarily unless they do?
