I think this current account deficit article might be a primer for the threats of tariffs the Bush administration is threatening to levy should these excessive exporters to the US not take the necessary steps to restructure and reinflate their economies. But that strikes me as a double edged sword, since the the minute foreign economies reflect more growth than the US, we'll likely see capital flow out of US equities and bonds for more lucrative markets. There's something to be said for not totally diminishing the "fear factor" in the world by winning this war on terrorism too quickly. What we're currently engaged in is making the world safe for commerce (and hopefully democracy). Bringing order from chaos and all that rot, y'know..... :0) Of course, that's the Machiavellian analysis.. hehe Hawk
