Douglas, if we can set religion aside, is democracy the answer? There was a time when Col Garang and Mr.el-Mahdi fought side by side to bring a so called democratic governement to Sudan and succeeded. Soon afterward in 1985 Col Garang declared war on the Mr el-Mahdi's government. Was it a failure to negotiate that brought even worse conditions to date? Ed

Doug, I am not surprised at all at the fire sales in the high tech, I have been forecasting such since Sept on the WFR (MEMC) thread and elsewhere. I do not think the fire sale is over.

I am as critical of current Jihads, and religious prosecution of any kind as I am of past religious infractions. I just do not think that religious leaders per are ALL as moral as we are sometimes led to believe. I still say let these people talk to each other (at the peace table) rather than murder and maim innocent bystanders.

By the way, who was responsible for the four young ladies conversion in the first place? I would never think of approaching a young moldable soul with promises of future salvation and ask them to convert to what I think is the true and original monotheistic faith (my faith actually forbid me from engaging in conversion, forced certainly, but even not voluntary, but then it is probably because the people of my faith have the strange notion that they were "chosen" to bear each their own personal cross (VBG)). In a sense, the people that have converted these young ladies bear some responsibility for their death as well.
