Apparently, our friends in Pakistan will allow US Intelligence access to the three wives that Osama left behind in Abbotabad. According to a report on "Today", this includes Osama's "favorite wife", a presumably nubile 28 year old, another who holds a PhD in Islamic Law, and a third who probably handled the cooking, cleaning, and other household chores.
Henry Ford sparked the Industrial Revolution with the assembly line and "division of labor". Someone who is good at installing windshields does only that on every Model T that passes on the line. It's quick and efficient. Osama maintained domestic tranquility with wifely "division of labor".
"Number 1, off to the bedroom with you! Number 2, review the script for my latest televised rant. Make sure those Quran references are correct. Number 3, the kitchen is a pig sty and you know what the Prophet thinks of pigs. Clean it up if you ever want to attain Favorite Wife status."
Isn't that the key? Henry Ford promised promotion to foreman to his workers to inspire hard work. Osama had the "favorite wife" carrot on the end of his stick.
And so History's Greatest Capitalist has a lot in common with its Greatest Midevalist.
