If it's anything close to "Band of Brothers" they'll certainly get it to On Demand at some point, and of course to DVD. They'll have me as a customer.

For just over four decades Japan has basked in its status as the world's second-largest economy. On current trends, however, that title will be lost this year to a resurgent China that is enjoying annual growth rates the like of which Japan has not seen since the 1970s.
The gap between east Asia's two biggest economies is already narrow. Japan's worst recession since the second world war left it with gross domestic product worth about $5,080bn (3,700bn, £3,300bn) last year, while Chinese GDP was about $4,900bn. If exchange rates are stable and International Monetary Fund forecasts for 2010 of 1.7 per cent growth for Japan and 10 per cent for China are anywhere near the mark, then the baton will decisively be passed.

They'd be fine if they'd have let companies fail back when they had that bust two decades ago. But noooo, they had to hold on to them at all costs, and got a zombie economy with 0% growth that they only emerged from in 2003.

He's admiring but wary because "Power corrupts." But why not admire and support until the actual corruption occurs? You can set yourself up to where you can be disappointed over and over again, but never pleased once...

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
