   From: Steve Walton 

   So, I don't think Willie and I disagree at all, except perhaps as
   to the means to arrive at the desired end, which is a fair "one
   person, one vote" government for the long-suffering peoples of
   South Africa.

Yes Steve, we both (and so do most freedom leaving people) want to see
a stable, prosperous, democratic and non-communist SA, perhaps one
with a well-written Bill of Rights.

   I hope he is correct that the movement away from centrally
   planned economies in Africa is far-reaching and permanent.

That is my hope too.  Already our (the West's) favorite, the
not-so-left Chissano (but sigh, still a Marxist), has been elected by
Mozambique's ruling elite to be the head of state.  The future of
Mozambique is very dependent on whether SA wants to continue
distablizing it and on whether Chissano can attract investments from
the West.  In general, it is up to the Africans to make their
economies work.  We already got enough propaganda points from them on
the failure of Marxism.



Willie
