> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antonio, You are a honest person. Your views really are simplistic. The US has been at war with Afghanistan for longer than it was in WWII. It is now fundamentally broke. It has no money to pay for the war other than to sell bonds and T-Bills to you and me and the Peoples Republic of China. If you are in a place where you can view Michael Moore's documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story, I would strongly suggest you go see the documentary. Anyone who does, will understand why they should not hold the US currency i.e. apart from the wild idea you are planting in peoples minds about the US Govt freezing the assets of foreigners. If you are in a place where you cannot view the documentary, the following link will give you a primer. http://www.capitalismalovestory.com/ Lastly, a little question. How long was the USSR in Afghanistan before they declared victory, pulled out and collapsed?
