I laud you concern about the Third World turning to Communism.  However,
if you will pick up a recent paper you will find that to deliver the goods
(food, jobs, education) the Third World countries are turning en masse to
the West.  They turn to the East for things like police training, guns and
'advisors' who build military projects.  Of course there are some exceptions
to this flow but in the main this is accurate.

Communism has demonstrated to ALL the world that they can't deleiver the
good life to their OWN people much less to anyone else.  That is why,
contrary to your advise (spawned by cockamamy liberal views?) they are
inviting the multinational companies in to invest in their countries!
No one it seems (including the Russians) wants Russian washing machines.

Food IS a weapon we should be using.  You've just got it backwards.  How many
countries have to turn from breadbaskets and potential breadbaskets into
desserts under communism before YOU get the picture?

There is an old joke from the East to the effect that if the Communists took
over the Sahara Dessert in five years there would be a shortage of sand.

Aren't you glad I've cleared this up for you??

Ken Arndt
