Most interesting, Lady Vivian. Such venom, and delivered with such nonchalance! Are Fukuyama and Brzezinski not to your liking? Whyever not? From what I've read, I can see why you'd dimiss Zinn and Chomsky as fiction, but those other two seem right up your proverbial alley. For what it's worth, I do like your selections. Particularly Kafka. :-)

Ok, seriously. If I can find time to send anything, they would be taken from the following list, which I think represents lessons the Iraqi people very much need to learn if they're going to make a go at a true democracy. Not saying that I think they are, but if they were to:

Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu

Candide, Voltaire

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft

Common Sense, Thomas Paine

Rights of Man, Thomas Paine

The Age of Reason, Thomas Paine

Two Treatises of Government, John Locke

The Republic, Plato

Politics, Aristotle

Ten Discourses on Livy, Niccolo Machiavelli

The Education of Cyrus, Xenophon

Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche

Hmmm. I'll have to think about a fiction section. That might be a longer list...
