All is well here, Anwar. I'm pleased to see Iraq-L back up again and that 
the oil-for-food program is underway. But let me repeat my offer and 
maybe you can pass it on to the Big Guy in Baghdad. What Iraq needs is 
a modern robotized-computerized industrial complex which will make all of 
the necessities of life (food, housing modules, clothing, medicines, 
automobiles, furniture, kitchen appliances and electronic household 
goods). If Baghdad will send me a few barrels of oil I'll put those 
robotized-computerized industries on factory ships at False Creek and 
send them to 'Babylon II' from here in Vancouver.
