2 Bombers Kill 5 in Guarded Area in Baghdad nytimes.com Bush was right. Things are better in Iraq. There were two bombers but they only got 5 people. That's definitely an improvement! ted

That's not what's taking decent paying manufacturing jobs... it's child or sweat labor in 3rd world countries. It's not child labor. And what you consider "sweat" labor ($100 per month) is considered a living wage in China. More than a billion people enetering the global work force is going to bring down the cost of labor. Good for the Chinese (they can make $100 per month rather than say $75 five years ago) and bad for the US (the $50k per year line jobs in General Motors go away). I don't think there is anything you can do, policy-wise, to stop this.
