And Lenin replied: well, Radek, they are so eager to trade with us, why they themselves will sell it to us" <BR/>Nothing illustrates the folly of the USA than this anecdote. A recent exapmle comes to mind. Ford Motor Co. set up a plant in the defunct USSR and the following year the same trucks were sent to Afghanistan during the invasion of Dec. 1979. But we seem to have a very short memory, specially when money is involved. What next, air to air rockets to Bin Laden? But wait, I forgot, we already did that one.Sharpshooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392128808186050440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-64927204155882882232008-02-15T19:40:00.000-05:002008-02-15T19:40:00.000-05:00...and the scrap metal we sold Japan in the 1930s ......and the scrap metal we sold Japan in the 1930s came back to us in the bombs at pearl harbor and Hitler's tanks ran on GM transmissions...and on and on it goes.<BR/><BR/>a useful reminder on the utter folly of allowing our foreign policy to be dictated by commercial interests...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-66480722169950050832008-02-15T19:28:00.000-05:002008-02-15T19:28:00.000-05:00I support you Boise!

Could it be because the arable farm land is 50 per cent overgrown with marabu and the demonstrated ineptitude of the authorities to manage anything that relates to agriculture? The thought of bringing potatoes from Idaho to Cuba before the famous Revolution took place ,was like bringing lumps of coal to Newcastle.Sharpshooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392128808186050440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-45251355209502378382008-02-15T09:15:00.000-05:002008-02-15T09:15:00.000-05:00did you write it Phil?did you write it Phil?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
