Reminds me of "Atlas Shrugged." Sowing salt would definitely be the John Galt thing to do there, the Francisco d'Anconia thing to do. Let them eat their stolen dirt. Odds are that this former breadbasket will wind up receiving food aid from other "People's States" around the world.

In retrospect it would not be the Christian thing to do. I was mad when I wrote this.

No doubt some Americans in 1939 could see the handwriting on the wall in Germany, too, but couldn't do much about that either. It's just very frustrating, especially when you KNOW that food aid is going to be used to prop the dictators up.

or Ford and IBM who continued to do business with the Germans during WWII?

What do you have to back that up?

I think that sowing the fields with salt is a great idea. Just like I would break my TV if I knew a thief was about to steal it.

I said I couldn't vouch for the truth of the claims.

Within the last couple of years books and articles have appeared making those claims. I haven't researched them. All I can tell you is that they were published by mainstream publishers and reviewed in the mainstream press. I take that to mean that they should be treated seriously. You might feel differently.

"IBM and the Nazis"

Here's a Google I just did in response to your question. I don't have enough interest to pursue it but you can if you wish. It's probably just as easy to do the same with Ford.

Thanks, but I have seen nothing to suggest that IBM or Ford did business with the Nazi's DURING the war.

Of course, some cross the line. Sell to the enemy. But even here the line is blurred.

Not in this case, Mugabe is pure evil. No one should be doing business with him.
