At times you guys really helped Milosevic, and then at times you helped us who wanted to get rid of him, then helped him again... I'm not saying it was all done for your own interest's sake, but most of the time it was in a gentle manner of a benevolent elephant in a glass shop.

That's for sure. I think I agree with Tracy about our involvement in other countries affairs. Then again, I have a problem with us knowing a dictator is murdering his people by the thousands. I think that is something we can't let stand. As you are well aware, there aren't any easy answers in that regard. First you have to determine who is the agressor, then you wind up picking sides. Sticky mess, at best.

>As the end result, my customers went broke and I could pretty much close shop. If you remember, I had a 40% ownership of a little software company back home. I still have it, but its value is close to zero now. So I came to where the market was.

>And don't get me wrong - I'm not a staunch anti-communist. If the capitalism was all that good, the idea of communism would never have caught root. And without communism, the capitalism loses its most important ingredient: competition. It doesn't feel any need to improve and to show the people it's better than the shop across the street.

>But then I'm not anti-capitalist either. There's a lot of good to say about it, but then if I see something I don't like, I won't talk behind your back. I'll say it straight - that's what friends do.

True, capitalism should always win out in that battle, as long as it is true capitalism, and not socialism.

Thanks for the info.
