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 ------- ------- -------
