It's hard to believe that this was actually in the Washington Post (and not the Washington Times).
A Pass on Preemption
Maybe there is hope for the future (though, if Bill Clinton were still president [ @#$%! ], I'm sure the Post would have been much more conciliatory).

Jeff Jacoby: An economic lesson from the Pilgrims
"Communism failed in 20th-century Europe and China. It fared no better in 17th-century Massachusetts."
"To their credit, the settlers recognized that their problems resulted from the lack of private property, which was stifling productivity and bringing out the worst in their characters. And so in the spring of 1623, communism was replaced with capitalism."
However, the facts in the editorial contradict this quote:
"When the harvest season came, Bradford later wrote, ''instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God.' "
It was the labor of men (not a deity) that brought the prosperity.
