unfortunately the protection argument is not shallow and it took pat buchanan 376 pages to lay out the case in his book:

The Great Betrayal : How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy

for me to try to lay out the whole case in favor of protectionism in a few posts on si would be quite an arduous task.
