Nicely Said........................

The only thing really feared by the rest of the world is that the economic collapse of the US, now sliding into deepening recession, will have drastic effects on their own economies. This is the driving power behind these recent world summits (none of which included the U.S. - Ed). Only closer economic relations between these other nations can lessen the effects of the world-wide effects of the coming US economic depression and financial collapse. - Bill Buckler, the-privateer.com, 24 May 2008
