We're always talking at cross-purposes, DJ. I always feel like we're having two different conversations. From the beginning, capitalists have been ardently opposed to slavery. Capitalism cannot coexist with slavery. On the other hand, as I said yesterday, capitalists don't automatically give nice working conditions out of the kindness of their heart, they need a financial incentive. Some capitalists who are also religious might have a spiritual incentive. Nevertheless, freedom works everywhere. Maybe in their minds the Iraqi people are still not free. I don't know how to make a power plant run but I know how to stand next to somebody who is working and hand him what he asks for, as long as he describes it with sufficient clarity that I can recognize it. How hard can it be? Somebody knows how to do it, and somebody knows where the parts are, and everybody else who is standing around doing nothing just have to give them a hand. Anyway, read Salam Pax and look at the photos in his photolog, and in the photolog of his friend Gee. Iraq isn't so bad, and getting better. dear_raed.blogspot.com
