Voters there may also extend a disturbing paradox that has emerged in the region the more vigorous Asian democracy becomes, the more dysfunctional it is.

In short, Asia s pattern of dynastic leadership does not render it immune from the challenges that the rest of the world faces.

Even an alternative Asian growth model if there really is one has not prevented a rise in inequality in China, India, and elsewhere.

The abrupt resignation of Thailand s Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is but another sign of a disturbing paradox the more vigorous Asian democracy becomes, the more dysfunctional it is.

Asian income certainly will decline if Asians export less to the US and this, in turn, will reduce Asian imports from Europe.

Now what can we do about this? Well, you know, the diet that we've found that can reverse heart disease and cancer is an Asian diet.

A third Asian issue with combustible potential is Burma, where another unique woman, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, is at the heart of events.

Virtually every successful Asian economy was built on selective trade barriers and in China and India, the world s two fastest growing economies, such barriers remain in place.

On her first Asian trip in February, she provided a welcome contrast to the past with her openness to others views, her willingness to cooperate, and her star power.

As the first non Western country that drew even with the West in modernity while showing that it is possible to maintain a unique culture, Japan has more potential soft power resources than any other Asian country. Today Japan ranks first in the world in the number of patents, third in expenditure on research and development as a share of GDP, second in book sales and music sales, and highest for life expectancy.
