JGoren - criticism of republican senators is hardly the same thing as criticism of USA. Noting that Qualcomm is exploiting their hostility towards Europe is hardly an anti-American sentiment. There is much I love in USA, but the party of Newt Gingrich and Dan Quayle does not make the cut. Show me one European who can stomach these clowns and I show you Margaret Thatcher. Can anyone here really claim that these guys are objective in trade issues? The kind of King James Bible language they use of United Nations, International Monetary Foundation and European Union is truly scary. Get off the high horse - I went out of my way not to insult Texas: there were no cracks whatsoever about opossums or underage cousins. I know the lyrics of "Sweet Home, Alabama" by heart, I am not anti-South. I'm only repelled by the reptiles these beautiful states keep voting to the senate and after Helms-Burton it seems that every European I meet feels the same way. The republican senate has decided that USA can infringe on the sovereignity of European nations by limiting their right to choose their trading partners. And I am parochial if the thought of these same people making decisions about trade war turns my stomach? Michael - "people" have chosen CDMA? Funny, I thought that the autocratic Korean government forced it down the throat of Koreans by making any other system illegal. The reason for this industrial policy was the fact that chaebols were not competitive enough to be a major force in tightly contested GSM market. And I thought that the small Japanese competitors of NTT-Docomo chose CDMA only because they knew that GSM would be compatible with W-CDMA and they did not want a system that would be upgraded into Docomo-backed standard. I seem to have read wrong newspapers... how much would the subscription of Dallas Herald Tribune be? And as I stated, my post does not accuse America of being xenophobic. Once again, I'm not going to equate right wing loonies with America. Tero
