'Financial terrorism a grave risk'

When you have a markers owing of over $14 trillion dollars, and a good portion of that, ($1 trillion), is owed to the loan shark across the Pacific Ocean whose name is China.....your circumstances are looking pretty grim.  You might as well smile nicely while your knee-caps are re-arranged after Mr. Loan Shark finds out you can’t pay up.  
America....how did you get yourself in this position?

From the article:

The US financial system is vulnerable to so-called financial terrorism attacks, a Department of Defence report said. The document warned that organizations with a grudge against the US could mount a "focused effort to collapse the dollar by dumping Treasury bonds," The (London) Times reported. The report also claimed that the financial crisis in 2008, which sparked the global recession that wiped out $US50 trillion of global wealth, was possibly the result of an attack by "financial terrorists intent on wiping out the American financial system."
