Hi Richard. I think I posted this a year or so ago not sure but here are some world views of the currency crisis of less than 5 years ago and it was the US$ in crisis. Some may find this history interesting. There is a fair bit of reading here so I'll just post 2 paragraphs. CURRENCY TURMOIL: U.S. MUST RESCUE SPENT DOLLAR. April 25, 1995 HONG KONG: "The Problem Lies In America's Huge Deficits" "The leading pro-PRC Ta Kung Pao's feature column "Worldwide Talk" carried a piece (4/25) that said, "It is unrealistic to expect that finance ministers of the seven countries can put forth any measures to stop the U.S. dollar from falling. The crux of the U.S. dollar [problem] lies in the huge deficits in America's financial and international expenditures. The U.S. dollar will drop further as long as the problem remains unsolved." "The independent Financial Times noted on the front page of its final edition (4/19), "The dollar fell through the Y80 level for the first time in Tokyo early today to a new postwar low, dealing a fresh blow to the competitiveness of hard-pressed Japanese exporters." usia.gov

Out here on the left coast, the 6:00 news was all about how Washington state is getting prepared for Kosovar refugees in the very near future. How's that for instant war? Instant refugees? Instant homeless? Lordy,LORDY what have we gotten ourselves into this time??? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that WA is the first state in the nation that has naturalized American for a Governor. We already have more Russians than we know what to do with from the "cold war" and the Pentecostal Purge still occuring. Boy, being a global village member is more than lipservice, eh? O/49r
