Phildell: Being American you also might remember that at the height of the Cold War (I am referring to the Cuban missile crises) the U.S., Canada and Australia never had stopped supplying Russia with their surplus wheat. Well, I think there were a few days of second thoughts, but... good info from poster #6
Furthermore methinks that, due to the great interest in the current events in Burma, the TT moderators should establish a dedicated branch for this country.

#10. Well,if I remember correctly the Cuban Missle crises lasted for a couple of weeks,did it not? But your position is that the world was on the brink of annhilation and it was business as usual in the commodities markets?
That's sobering,indeed.
Your point is what in regards to this Burma issue?
