Maybe. If so he is fairly unique among dictators. Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il, to pick two, are unlikely to have been influenced by access to the world economy. And if that had really been enough, he would have done it a long, long time ago. Also, if that was really his motivation, he would have contacted the French or the Russians. But that's not whom he approached first, which all by itself is pretty indicative. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
