Katherine,

I generally agree with your views regarding protectionism. However, it is very infuriating to see countries like Japan and S. Korea routinely employ absolutely ridiculous barriers and obstacles in order to maintain their trade surpluses and protect domestic industries. And our so called "trade representatives" can't seem to do a darn thing about it. I recently read that in s. korea the purchaser of a foreign vehicle (in excess of a certain $ value) is automatically placed on an "audit list". talk about a dis-incentive to buy a foreign product!

regards
