George, I read it today(on the treadmill). Isn't it wild how things have changed. Remember when, what was it, Business Week had a rising Sun on the cover. The story was Americans were scared to death that Japan was taking over the US. Remember they bought Pebble Beach, some movie studios, famous high rises, etc. We all thought the world was going to be flying the Japanese flag in those days. Well the article George refers to is about a man in Japan who thinks the US is going to take over Japan! He's the Pat Buchanann of Tokyo. What he wants to use for ammo is pretty scary. He thinks Japan can prevent the US from taking over by yanking money out of our treasuries and imploding our economic bubble. Seriously scary thought. Glad he isn't hugely popular over there. He co-wrote some book with the Prime Minister of Malaysia, of all people. What a dynamic duo. MikeM(From Florida)
