Barry, -you wrote- Such talk seems so ... uh negative. Consequences not over for a generation. For how long have Malaysians really had a taste of increased consumption? Much less than a generation, right? -STRATFOR Systems wrote- We expect short-term recoveries in oversold financial markets, but the deep seated economic problems embedded in Asian economies will take a generation to recover from. stratfor.com I think that the folks at STRATFOR may have goofed with their choice of wording. If I'm interpreting this right I believe that their thinking would have been more clearly conveyed if they would have substituted 'overcome' for 'to recover from'. In other words, I think that they mean to say that it will take a generation to overcome things like bribery, corruption, cronyism, etc. and NOT the consequences of the same(although such practices are certain to keep them from succeeding in the long run). My 2 cents.... BTW -- I just noticed this part of the STRATFOR site. They give an interesting spin on stories we would probably never get in the states. Sure beats CNN, CNBC, and all of the 'white bread' news outfits: stratfor.com stratfor.com Craig
