Hello Taikun,
The what!! "US is shouldering the responsibility for policing the world". Most people on this globe, certainly including me, see the US as making the world a more dangerous place. I wish they would get out of the middle east and stop shouldering anything.
Of course our investment policies have to be based on reality, which is that investment in the policeman is dangerous especially when we need protection against him. The big trend is down for the currency of this policeman.
The UN should have a police force, carefully chosen. That's a totally different matter. Everything would be better, even for your KEP if the US kept its nose out of Syria, Iran, North Korea, Palestine etc.

D, re: the Nafta correct... and you forgot the GST... the two cornerstones securing the election were reneged upon...

OTOH as far the US policing the world I gotta go with Malcolm on that one... Afghanistan was valid... but Iraq ?

On the Missile defense ? NO WAY... too much sovereignty at stake... besides are the Russians already working on a 'work around' and I don't know how good US missile defence could be anyway... good as the Patriot Missiles :o)

regards
K
