Diario Libre editor Adriano Miguel Tejada posted a very interesting editorial today.He cites the situation in Mogadishu, Somalia where Islamic fundamentalist rebels are trying to dislodge the warlords that control the nation.What Tejada cites as a possible lesson for the Dominican Republic is the fact that in Somalia there are, in fact, three different countries, but this reality has not impeded the creation of a lively telecommunication business that he calls "extraordinary."Tejada then quotes an airlines executive about this good business climate, and the executive said that in Somalia there was no corruption, "because there was no government!"Tejada then quoted Thomas Jefferson who said the "best government is the least government," because the government is a parasite that produces nothing and lives off the citizenry.
