Asian tigers attempt market intervention to weaken their currencies.
The dollar is falling so fast I would guess it is beyond reckless to try and keep up. Nevertheless, according to the WSJ (via GATA):
The U.S. dollar continued to tumble against most Asian currencies Thursday, prompting a wave of foreign-exchange intervention by central banks in South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Thailand seeking to limit damage to their export industries.
Also include Hong Kong and Indonesia in the list. Perhaps now that Japan is part of the anti-dollar cabal they're in no rush to intervene.

Hypocrisy ---Cant have it both ways
I saw your posting on Community in Japan...for a guy into philosophy I am surprised at your post.... of course the Savoie case is beneficial to all. It has clearly brought to light Japans backwards Family Law System and inequity in "justice"
But it is a difficult situation with Chris Savoie.
We are stuck on this one. It has the most media coverage to date, but has issues. And all divorces have issues. There is no pretty divorce.
Here's the deal...
None of us has any desire to condemn a fellow American who is facing the same level of hopeless desperation, as each one of us have faced since the first day we understood the reality of the Japanese policy on this issue. But Chris was intending to break the law in Japan, and was intending to do something that would be against the law here in the US. Abduction or re-abduction is wrong.
Put this in your philosphy-check machine...If we are to take a principled and objective stand against Japan on our issue, we cant be seen to CONDONE what Chris did.
We totally understand his feelings and empathize with him entirely. My heart goes out to him entirely.
This thing has to end up focused on how far out of sync Japan is with the rest of the major industrialized societies of our world on social justice, family law, children and human rights, and a whole host of other facets. AND NOT focused on us allowing Chris a free pass to break the law, even though we would like to give him one. We cant have it both ways.
Its a bitter pill, but we all must take it.
posted here --why?
you dont seem to have a blog discussion on this blog on Savoie or related issues, just your comments on Debitos blog... and of course your link to this blog...
