US offers N Korea chance of food and energy aid news.ft.com Finally the ideas of Elmat are being used in Washington DC! <VBG> I have advocating giving to every adult in Iraq USD3.700 if they would topple Saddam in 48 hours. These USD3.700 amounts to the USD60 billion (lower estimates) the war would cost.

Hello Jim, I believe China, S.Korea, and Japanese announced policy is that the US should dialogue directly with N.Korea, and so, as the wind blows, direct talks happen, presumably. Talking is good, and I believe N.Korea wants to talk as well, as opposed to waiting for attack per "Evil Axis" Script. In a fight, I can easily imagine 40% of Japanese and 70% of S.Korean GDP disappearing with some suddenness, which would not be particularly bullish for equities, bonds, and most currencies (except Japanese Yen and New Korean Money) in my book, but not necessarily so in some other threaders' books, because some think war is bullish. Chugs, Jay
