Hi All,
Sabri says it well. We would very much appreciate what you think is

Mankiw's comments were totally stupid -- at least in a political

supportive of Mankiw.

My own intuition is that the momentum for protecting jobs that Roach
described will mutate into an anti-Chinese tirade preventing a
reasonable discussion of the issues.
Spot on, methinks. And the corporate media will happily fuel it.

Jim C. was correct. McArthur was an arrogant SOB, but he still was
considered a great hero of the Pacific -- whether warranted or not.
Nobody would be awestruck that Clark overpowered the Serbs from the air.
