Is love found when one is abusive? Abusive love is the only love this mental midget president gets.
Quote:
from The Economist of 4 September 2004
It has been a rough summer at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) for America's trade officials. Recently the arbiter of global trade rules has ruled against them in cases from cotton subsidies to Canadian lumber. Now the Geneva body has also meted out punishment. On August 31st, a WTO arbitration panel ruled that eight of the organization's members, including the European Union, could impose tariffs of up to $150million a year on American goods, because America has failed to repeal a law that the WTO first deemed illegal in 2002. ...

Passed by Congress in October 2000, it says that companies that initiate anti-dumping and anti-subsidy complaints should receive the proceeds of any duties that are imposed. It thus offers American firms a cash incentive to clamour for protection.

... It is a pity that, while America's lawmakers squeal about the importance of fair rules for global trade, they are reluctant to accept the WTO as a judge of what is fair and what is not.
God's choosen president openly opposes international trade while having some even believe that the neocons are free traders. Facts repeated say that George Jr openly opposed free trade - contrary even to the actions of his father.

One can use emotion to believe neocons are free traders. Reality: since 2000, the US has been repeatedly accused of and found guilty of violating the rules of free trade. Wave of unanamious decisions against the US has only started with the mental midget president. However we really should not blame George Jr. We pretty well know he does not make his own decisions. Therefore its not George's fault?

Bottom line - anyone who claims this administration advocates free trade has to believe more fiction - that world leaders love this president. Even the former premier of Singapore, who is also father of the current premier, is in American and will not visit this so *loveable* American president. Why be friends with someone who lies when he claims he advocates free trade.
