Peter, Malaysia's lone problem is the sick f--k dictator running it.

peter; <<I feel that Malaysia may be quite wise in restricting currency flows at this time.>> With folks like Paul Krugman favoring these last resorts I am on very shaky ground to argue the point but I still see this as a set back for U.S. long term interests. From my observations the dollars that are saved may not necessarily be used to pay debt but we will have to wait and see. <<It has nothing to do with mysterious easterners, IMO.>> I was perhaps reaching a bit to express what I see as a widening divergence of interests and a growing resentment of the West. The east used to be very insular indeed. It just seemed to me to be a step in that direction. Overreaction? Perhaps. Best, Stitch
