Harry,
Thank you for your interesting biographical posting (which I'll now delete

Good morning, Salvador. I hope the new day in Mexico City dawned sunny and
bright for you.
I'm jumping into this discussion to comment on the subject of choice, as it
has evolved over the last few days, about women's dress in Muslim countries.

I wonder if not having to wear a burka can be considered a human right.
In any case, as was repeatedly stated here and elsewhere, burka's were

during and after,

Arthur, I'll follow-up with you off-line.
In case I missed any response to my offer in the flurry of emails these last
couple of days, please email me directly regarding how to get in touch with

Well said, Jan.
Can you say a bit more about the dowry matter in Afghanistan? Did it become
a major issue for the Taliban, the way modesty and the burka did? It is
probably too early to tell, but do you have any sense of whether the removal

Never again.

Harry,
your posting is so full of strawman arguments that I don't know where to
start. Just two basic hints: You confuse opposition to free trade with
opposition to trade. And you confuse improper protectionism with useful
regulations.
I'd appreciate if you could actually address the points
