Soros: Money and Politics

~
Does George Soros mix his political interests with his investment strategy? Read this original story on Soros' Southeast Asia speculation from Irrawaddy.org an organization that focuses on Burma and Southeast Asia and has felt the Soros "touch" first hand.

I don't think Soros can take on the US currency single handedly, but I do think he could convince other big investors, particulaly those of his political persuasion, to participate in a scheme to devalue the dollar and derail the Bush administration early in its second term.

Read more about this icon of philanthropy at:
Canadian Dimensions a liberal Canadian magazine with a less than flattering in-depth article on Soros.
Wikipedia a great free encylopedia that gives you a serious overview with links to other wikipedia entries and external sites. It's an invaluable research tool.
FreeRepublic a conservative forum with an article entitled "The Secret Financial Network Behind "Wizard" George Soros" It's a little conspiritorial, but of course, so is my premise.
