Iqbal, I'm sorry to disagree with you, but the average American will not pull away from his TV or computer game long enough to look at an Atlas (if he even has one)!! He listens to the asset allocation pundits say emerging markets get 5-10%, and in the money goes. This sell-off is a withdrawal of fund and institutional money from several corrupt banking systems backed by corrupt governments. The same thing happened in the U.S. and cost us dearly. Now, are there reformers in the ASEAN countries strong enough to clean up their internal messes,accept the pain of reform and restore the confidence of the world banking and investment communities. I hope no more U.S. money goes into those ASEAN countries that won't clean house and accept IMF strictures. Iqbal, your sitting in the middle of all that's going on. Surely the people whose money you handle are aware of what's needed. Love and hope to the ASEAN masses, BOB O

Ike - The average North American has NO IDEA what kind of 'crap' labor is being done outside of this continent. To most, globalization is just a word. Randy
