NY Times Op-Ed on US Dollar

The NY Times has an opinion piece by Stephen Roach today, titled Save the Day. The Op-Ed page is finally weighing in on the dollar's downturn:
    "Optimists may draw comfort from the vision of an export-led renewal arising from a more competitive dollar. Yet history is clear: no nation has ever devalued its way into prosperity. So far, the dollar’s weakness has not been a big deal. That may now be about to change. Relative to the rest of the world, the United States looks painfully subprime. So does its currency."

Yeah, I'm not feeling very good about my dollars right now. In fact, I'm beginning to have a napoleon complex about them. I hope this doesn't last very long...
