So, the financial panic in Vietnam is irrelevant?
Well, supreme moderators, we shall see! :-)
Did you read this part of the link?
Edward Teather, UBS economist, said that if Vietnam were to unravel, investor sentiment and financial markets in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia could all take a knock.

And if hell freezes over we could all claim that the threat of global warming has declined. If the Chinese stop using so much oil, petrol prices in the US could decline

I would have thought you might be more interested in "Der Spiegel's" report, noted in several other newspapers such as Australia's "The Age," that the IMF is going to investigate the US financial system.
"Under its bylaws, the IMF is charged with the supervision of the international monetary system. Roughly two-thirds of IMF members -- but never the United States -- have already endured this painful procedure.
For seven years, US President George W. Bush refused to allow the IMF to conduct its assessment. Even now, he has only given the IMF board his consent under one important condition. The review can begin in Bush's last year in office, but it may not be completed until he has left the White House. This is bad news for the Fed chairman.
When the final report on the risks of the US financial system is released in 2010 -- and it is likely to cause a stir internationally -- only one of the people in positions of responsiblity today will still be in office: Ben Bernanke.

So says Der Spiegel this week
So what? Is this some sort of respected economic journal? Or just something you can reach to for a citation?
Der Spiegel -- don't make me laugh. Try The Economist.
Or is pure anti-Americanism getting in your way?

What can ever be done about that?

I see, you can quote from Timesonline but I can't quote from Der Spiegel? You can quote hypothetical situations but I can't quote a factual report, picked up by other news sources. And you accuse me of bias? Can it be that you are anti-German?
