Any ideas on what precedent this can set for the world? Isn't this essentially the government siezing control of private assets? The situation facing Northern Rock isn't going to be isolated, but rather widespread. The official reason for the action is to "protect the taxpayer," but isn't this just the opposite? Is this not an outright power grab by the English government?

At the end of the article is mention that the Russians, Chinese, and Indians also want in. It's my guess that the US would just as soon keep the Russians and Chinese out, but can they do it? Or is there some other strategy at work?
