>I called Saddam an obstacle. You put the other word's in my mouth.> Obstacle to democracy maybe. Not really against Capitalism and Technology. And in terms of democracy, Saddam probably probably agrees with your arguement about needing stability in Iraq. As long as he is the one providing the stability. >The russian mob provided the first round of this structure. In the films Gangs of New York it very much seemed that something like mob-like institutions were providing the trust required for social order. It will take time for trust to emerge in Iraq and the first implementation of the C/D/T system may be uniquely Arabic and difficult for us to recognize. >
