[lbo-talk] RE HOW THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT IS BLOWING IT:

These are all true, but how important are they to profit-making in 
general? Total debt service was around $380 billion in 2001 (latest 
year availailable) - that compares to about $40-50 trillion total 
world product, $10-11 trillion U.S. alone.

We're talking a bit past each-other. I don't understand why it is necessary to focus only on profits from debt service. If you're saying that they would be more profitable if they were more developed, that's probably true, but then an actual social investment would have to be made.
