There is a misunderstanding. I was referring to politicians dealing with the future of work. In that context both FTA and NAFTA are relevant.
Re: Iraq. I have no idea what is going on. It is probably some version of Vietnam all over again. (as a historical note we should recall that it JFK and brother RFK who got us into Vietnam lo those many years ago....) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence de Bivort Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 4:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Looking at the Cohesion of Society So, Arthur, you would accept the argument that the destabilization of, and killing and chaos in Iraq was achieved by people who had that purpose in mind, and not by their 'stupidity'?

Clinton and Reich understood what FTA and NAFTA was all about. But they agreed to go along with the corporate agenda. The political elites know that factory towns all over the US are in trouble and vow to do "something" about it. But they don't. They blame it all on an exogenous variable called globalization. arthur -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christoph Reuss Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Looking at the Cohesion of Society Lawry deBivort wrote: > But it again led me to the realization that the fate of human > well-beings is heavily dependent on the wisdom (or lack thereof) of their > governments.

Methinks you're again confusing stupidity with deliberate, well-calculated recklessness. With all the billion$ involved, how can one believe that those with real power leave it up to coincidences or even to stupid hands?
