Ted,

That's odd because someone on the news said a few days ago that Bush doesn't want to give favored trading status to nations that support abortion, and then yesterday, I read in the paper that he no longer wants the US to give aid to international organizations that support abortion.

I don't know about the source of the comment about linking most favored trading status in any way with country's stance on abortion. Just about every country has a most favored trading status, and even China gained it recently.

Powell must mean giving up all sanctions except those related to abortions.

Again, I don't know where you get this stuff. I would be very surprised if there was anything to it. Do you have a link by any chance? Ther btw is a difference between trading between countries, and a subsidy from US treasury to other countries and organizations.

It seems that Powell wants to scrap most of the sanctions related to trade and other commerce that are placed on other countries.

Again, I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised that this is one of the goals of the administration. I am very skeptical about sanctions, and actually, Republicans in Congress were the originators of many of the sanctions that are on the books, so IMO, this will definitely be a breath of fresh air.

Joe
