You're half right; an exchange rate has little or nothing to do
with
ability
to pay, but on the comparative worth of two currencies.

Your rescources describe a symptom as the cause, but it is the
failure
to
allow imports by both the National Government of Japan and the
Japanese
People that is the failure of their reflation plan. If you are
going
to
loan Yen, then it must be possible allow your borrowerto earn Yen
to
repay
the loan; otherwise Yen must be purchased for dollars at the end
of
term
and
the borrower is bankrupted.

Nice, but that has virtually NOTHING to do with exchange rates.

Buy Yen with dollars, what happens to exchange rates?

Buy milk, or gas, or... with cash; what happens to the price?

Non-sequitur.

Not at all; supply of one currency and it's attached worth to the other --
simple supply and demand.


Borrow dollars, sell goods for dollars and pay back dollars is
possible.
All the Japanese did in their "reflation" was bankrupt their banks and
now
they can't afford to write off all the bad paper.

But the revelation has just about nothing to do with their import/export
polices, only the relative worth of the yen.

How do you decouple rare Yen from the value of Yen?

"Rare" yen? Is that like, still sorta raw?

According to CNN (and numerous other sources), Kerry has been
awarded
both
distinctions:
"It was in 1971 that Kerry, then 27, appeared before the Senate
Foreign
Relations Committee to speak out against U.S. policy in Vietnam.

And that testimony is going to be a part of his downfall when it gets
thoroughly analyzed during the later campaign.

Why might that be?

Gross slander and dereliction of duty for starters.

What a totalitarian sentiment. "Slandering the state" is what the Soviet
Union used to charge dissidents with when they denounced acts of
international aggression committed by their country, as Kerry had the
courage to do with regard to the US invasion and conquest of South Vietnam.

Dereliction of duty? One of an officer's principal duties under domestic
and international law is to prevent his own side from committing war crimes.
If Kerry had remained silent about the massive, systematic atrocities
committed by the US in its brutal attempt to impose a puppet dictatorship
upon the people of South Vietnam (killing literally millions of people in
the process), THAT would have been a dereliction of his legal and moral duty
as a soldier, a citizen, and a human being.

Where did I say he slandered the "state"?

Yes, it is. So why did he "see" so many attrocities and do nothing, as he
would be required to do in his duty as an officer, about them?

Toks,
Baby Bush is/was a Pilot as well.
Just remember that they are Politicians first and pilots second. They
will still do what they think will make people feel better. One level
headed individual can do little to stop over five hundred idiots.

I was watching MSNBC recently and learned that John Kerry, a democrat, is a

There is no way to recognize what kind of plane, but it is definitely a low

I'm sure many U. S. veterans who hold these decorations would be
gratified to see your equating them with Hitler's giving himself the
Iron Cross. No doubt they would enjoy your "big whoop" comment WRT these
honors, as well.

In the interests of historical accuracy, and not to defend a monster, I think
Hitler got the award legitimately in WW1 and did not give it to himself.

So was Bush, Sr.

So were George McGovern and Barry Goldwater and _there_ is a contrast if
ever there was one.

And on and on...

All in all, though, I suppose it's better than picking a candidate based on
endorsement by ones favorite rock star or Hollyweird celebrity.

Perhaps I misunderstood. If you were not referring to Kerry's criticism
of the actions of the US government and the US military, then whom,
specifically, do you claim Kerry slandered and what, specifically, are the
false accusations that the alleged slander consisted of?

Yes, it is. So why did he "see" so many attrocities and do nothing, as he

Kerry and his organization gathered documentation of far more than what
he personally witnessed. And his testimony before Congress *was* doing
something about it.

I'm not spinning for Kerry. I find plenty to criticize him for (such as
voting to let Bush unilaterally go to war in Iraq under false pretenses).
But Kerry's activism in opposition to the US war in Vietnam was
exemplary of how patriots and humanitarians ought to behave.
