or does it? WE can start a thread in tilted paranoia. there's an inter-departmental agency which is used to put pressure on 'countries and entities which need persuading ' . Not unreasonable, and maybe a little more subtle than Al Capone, but just as feasible.
When I first heard that the HoC voted against the missile thingy, I thought 'Yay' common sense prevailed. then I thought, 'Oh No... there goes the beef...' and sho 'nuff.... there went the beef.
so it may not be related, but then again, i have a feeling it is. Part of the interconnectedness of all things. Their administration may have been taken aback, but they had a contingency, and we don't. there's no other economically feasible market for our beef. But I bet it could bring the prices of beef in japan....
