Stuck in another century, as well as on another planet, you are.

"'All liquidity starts in Japan, the world's largest creditor
country,' said Jesper Koll, chief economist for Japan at Merrill Lynch
& Co.  'When rates go up here, rates go up everywhere'" (William Pesek
Jr., "Japan's Boom May Explode Yen-Carry Trade: William Pesek Jr.," 21
February 2006, <http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000039&sid=a0gK4Vt__cBU&refer=columnist_pesek>).

You might as well worry about an anti-Jap pogrom if you are gonna
indulge in a delusion -- that will make your delusion at least a
21st-century delusion inspired by the 21st-century global political
economy.
