Re: "Those other countries can do what they want, what does that have to do with us?"

I have always been, (and continue to be), against farm subsidies.

But, if we eliminate ours and Japan and Europe don't, they will take away a goodly part of our export markets. (Which is one of the reasons that politicians use to explain why they continue to vote for farm welfare).

And that's WHY I support some sort of legal (under WTO rules) retaliation that we can take against them, as a sort of 'whip' we can use to correct for that... and 'incent' them to eliminate their farm welfare too.
