Hi-sort of off the topic but an affirmation of your post there was an editorial in the New York Times about three days ago about the a French book discussing communism..it gave numbers of up to 100,000,000 million people killed by communistic regimes. I look at that number and wish I had saved the article to make sure I got it right..It is an unbelievable number. I told a friend last night about the number. I asked if it was the product of communism's being the antithesis of having faith in some higher power and its assumption of man's power. He said communism was based on pure mind. The other night I spoke with my aunt and she said my grandparents often used an expression "Men talk and God laughs". Ps I don't think the giant corporations ever had any values to abandon. There was another editorial in the Times yesterday about the Asian collapse which finally implicates the West for the collapse of the East. As you wrote, it said that billions of dollars from the west have helped to maintain the Communist Government in China. What was even more frightening was that the article went on to say that much of this money is going to their armed forces. It goes on to say that French,German and Russian investors are ready to do business with Saddam-if sanctions are lifted. The author recommended reading the January Reader's Digest article by an American expert on Iran and weapons proliferation ,Kenneth Timmerman. The article by Rosenthal ended "Western investors and governments themselves cannot guarantee Asia what it needs - capitalism prospering in and for democracy. But they can help-by not giving the fruits of democratic capitalism to governments that destroy the tree."
