What other countries are big trading partners that will cause complications? That shelter terrorists? California. <GG> Most big trading partners will have no problem allying with us. Among those that harbor enough internal resentment to refrain, and conduct a fair amount of trade, perhaps SA, Egypt, Jordan are the most significant. I'm not sure if UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria would qualify on both counts. Hmmmm.... Indonesia?

I'm having a ton of trouble figuring out how the Admistration is going to implement its financial seizures and non-trade package. What other countries are big trading partners that will cause complications? I shouldn't be offering any thoughts here since I know less than zip on these matters. But I assumed much of this talk was about banks rather than governments; only governments in so far as they exercised some forms of control over banks. And as everything is increasingly multinational, including banks, I would assume banks, like everything else, are stronger international actors. John
