I know a few economists who take more interest in literature and poem than economics. For me, I do not see much hope on either side; basic identity can be put in an identical parameter, as far as the governance is concerned. Though you have demonstrated much taste for the other, doing so you have imprisoned yourself within the system and the culture.

Being an economist you did not see much impediment in corruption, as sampled from Japan and Indonesia. What an economic theory! Unless seriously impaired by disaster, any economy will have some natural growth, as did many economies, our RMG sector is a bright example.

The way you intended to bring in the foreigners to deal with many issues, tarnish independence of your state of thinking.

Ayad Alawi says his country is in a civil war (50 deaths/day on an average, A.A on 20.03.06), perhaps hearing Donald Ramsfeld every day you wouldn't agree, but if you like me to believe that Wolfowitz's World Bank will contain our corruption, I won't oblige.

This line of thinking is the biggest fight my nation needs to put up against. Clash of opinion is not the challenge, it is the negative attitude.

Patriotism if you ask, we all have. Who am I to challenge that? But a sane individual naturally thinks independently towards all that harms his nation, no matter what is the source of it, because he is naturally bestowed with integrity.
