Robert Bradbury asks:
<<How long do you think someone like Sadaam would remain in power
if the U.S. were dropping 3000 sq. ft. nanotech enabled luxury
homes (capable of replicating themselves based on instructions
beamed down from satellites, i.e. a "broadcast" architectures)
into the middle of the Iraqi desert and Sadaam resorted to
using his artillery to blowing them up so the people would
stop migrating out of Bagdahd so he could retain his power
structure? Why would you want to serve in Sadaam's honor
guard when you could lie by your pool all day?
The entire way people think about politics shifts when we
eliminate our current conditions of scarcity.

I think you are the right track, but I believe it may take 10-20 years to
convince the Arab Muslim and Iranian peoples to becomes cynical, crass,
materialists like ourselves.
The Islamist voices would say: "Why you give up paradise which is forever,
just for a few years of pleasure, obeying the will of the Crusaders and Jews,
rather then Allah, blessed is he? You will have many women in heaven, all at
once, if you desire. But why be traitor to holy Islam, whom the Holy Koran
teaches (the Kaffars) has always been against Allah's will?"
You get the idea. I content it will take some time for reason to catch up
with centuries of indoctrination.
