Hello CRUSADER, Welcome to FADG. Please read the header and some of the references I have posted. As for the new world order, well that doesn't sound too much like American Foreign policy so now that you have made a statement about TNWO, let's not revisit that subject. Thanks,, --FaultLine

The gist of what you are saying seems to be that multinational enterprises are wicked. Suppose you had a business, you've invented a better zipper or something. You are prospering in the U.S. and it seems to you that you should set up a factory abroad also. Do you pass from being a good person to being evil as that factory is built? How about taking a look at some isolated countries in Africa. They are the poorest places on earth. The "multinational companies" are not interested there, there is no market and the labor is totally illiterate. The lack of capitalism is disastrous there. If the "international bankers" are milking the world unscrupulously how come the local bankers are not also doing that? Your quarrel logically seems to be with capitalism itself, not with the straddling of a border. I live in Canada where successful companies hope to penetrate the U.S. market with their products and/or services. People here cheer them on, not thinking they will do evil in the U.S.
