Re: "MHO Nations act in their own self interest." >>> Yep! "As a rule it's not a good idea to PISS OFF UNCLE SAM. Luckily we still have so much economic clout its wise to be our buddy, buddy." >>> Yep... still, with Asia financing our budget deficit to the tune of 1 1/2 Billion dollars a day, our 'clout' is being steadily diminished. >>> Anyway, as far as 'economic clout', erecting trade barriers tends to damage the economy raising the barrier even more than the rest of the world... so it's not too much of a 'stick' to waive around.
