George, I can not agree with you more, who wants to be told by a third party how to sell it's own products and at what price. So much for the promotion of free markets it works only if it benefits the US <GG> This incredible bubble as well as US behavior in the world generally illustrate the truth of the old axiom that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." and the funny thing is that many Americans do not understand why so many people all over the world actually dislike or even hate the US, even if they receive the so called "military assistance" which is nothing more than a way to lower the cost of military equipment to the US army and propagate US economic interests in the receiving country even if that country still ends up paying the bill (any one visited France lately? or the Benelux? etc.). Little is know about the fact that all US assistance is limited to buying "approved" US products and not real free monetary assistance as it may sound. Also many miss the point that companies such as GE, BA and others are riding this wave by pushing on the receiving countries their product such as airplanes, power generation station etc. at higher non competitive prices.
