>> craig, the EU is lobbying for power. << of course, and they are lobbying to add more members from central europe so they can gain even more power. >> you love wielding power, but others have big sticks, too << yes, and that's precisely why we shouldn't enter into global trade agreements with these rising powers and put ourselves in a position where they can dictate the terms of trade. >> i don't think taking away their freedom is a reasonable answer. << how does not entering into trade agreements with the EU "take away their freedom"? it merely preserves our freedom to act unilaterally. if you want to be technical about it, like you pointed out with ge/hon, we are not "forcing" them to do anything. they simply need to deal with the united states on our terms, not theirs.
