Account surplus and deficit? Safety and security?<br />Although I agree with parts of Mr. Dershowitz's ideas I do not think we can draw a comparison. A failing business goes insolvent and at worst people must look for work elsewhere...countries on the other hand have no choice to dissolve. <br /> Bigthink Sat, 08 Mar 2008 09:51:57 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/policy-politics/499/#10889
