Wake up and smell the $ Ron, those are megga bucks spent by the US in Japan! Wake yourself up Richard. Try cracking open a history book and see why the Japanese have only a "self-defense force" and not a military as you define it. It's OUR fault. Just like its OUR fault they have a constititutional amendment prohibiting their forces from leaving to engage in military actions outside of Japan. It was a US desire to prevent Japan from re-militarizing that created the current situation. They didn't force us to put a military umbrella over them. We did it willingly. And we would have done the same thing to Germany, had it not been for the necessity of dealing with the Russians and East Germans. Looking up facts and being able to analyze and put meaning to them are two different things. You possess the former, but are lacking in the latter, IMO. Regards, Ron

What of the possibility! When Gold prices reach the production level that we could see the US Fed Reserve become a net buyer of Gold. This could suit several purpose's; One way to get out of the Japanese, Asian crisis is to have some degree of economic growth. Buying Gold would put US dollars in Asian hands which could then be reinvested in Us Treasury Bond's or US goods and services. So it would provide US dollars and doesn't put upwards pressure on the US dollar. Distinct possibility? Gold may seem like an anachronism, but in actual fact ther's still a role for the shifting of currencies back and forth. And that would reinforce the US desire to be the world reserve currency or continue as such. Your thoughts Mike
