True. I think we largely agree. The big problem (and a consequence of our policies) is that China now has the means of making the dollar collapse, because they own a big part of the US debt. So it isn't as "easy" as with South Africa. We cannot just suddenly change policies and act as if we cared about human rights :( j -- Juan Buhler Water Molotov: http://photoblog.jbuhler.com Slippery Slope: http://color.jbuhler.com
