Some inexpensive solutions that can be initiated now... In all backward third world countries information is the most prized commodity. (Afghanistan for example banned television, and frowns on radios.) In countries where we have problems...(Afghanistan, Iraq etc) the CIA should air drop free short wave radio by the millions.(with an extra set or batteries). All repressive regimes desperately try to suppress outside information. An informed citizen is much more difficult to suppress. Note: there are already dozens of radio broadcasts beamed into Afghanistan. This would compliment those broadcasts. Regards, Jerome

Conflict...Republican Agenda....Presidential Resolve... For the past ten years or longer the Republican cry has been less governmental interference with business. The first nine months of the Bush Presidency we have seen some of this take place. Less enforcement of government regulation. Almost dropping the case against MSFT. etc. The new initiatives announced by Bush imply a whole lot more regulation.... 1) Banking Regulations...(trace the money) 2) Technology transfers...(keep the best technology here) 3) Communication Monitoring and Encryption... (some re- thinking needed) 4) Transportation..(Air, Train and Bus)limitations and refunding of alternative forms of transportation. These new initiatives run contrary to the Republican agenda. Any thoughts on the these matters? Regards, Jerome
