No, I want them to have a better economy than that. If things continue as they have, that won't happen for a long time. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Bush doesn't have that much longer to play. >>We need to buy off North Korea for another decade. > It may be longer. We may have to wait for a generation of leaders to die > off.
