And the gov't forced AIG and others to get into the derivatives market?

Nope, but the Government bailout of AIG has short-circuited the way that capitalism solves these kinds of issues - it stopped the company from going away.

Apparently a capitalist market approach is not what you support?

May I suggest you reset your "apparently' meter? ;^)
