>>how does not entering into trade agreements with the EU "take away their freedom"?<< it doesn't. >>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.<< very true. but sovereignty is a red herring for a different issue. poor trade relationships may be a very valid issue. let's not confuse it with a red herring. am i to assume that you wouldn't force anybody to do anything about eu's economic power? if not, the system worked as it would work under your system. the eu could deny access to europe with or w/o a trade agreement.
