I didn't see this link yet. Please delete if it is old news, I don't keep up with this much anymore. Up to 151 countries are going to seek compensation, yada, yada, yada.

Re: thinktank says US will owe $100 billion
It so funny to me when I saw Bush and the Republicans on TV today talking about how much "free trade" helps the economy of the US and the world. Yet they are so against free trade when it comes to protecting the horse racing lobby and other people who stuff money in their pockets so they will fight to ban internet poker. Typical Republican hypocrisy at it's finest.

If US do not comply the end will be that any US patent or any copyrighted material can be 'pirated' legally. No US exports, no US economy. The days when the US industry drove the world economy has been over for decades, and the former eastern block and china have only started turning the wheels. Remember when the USD was close to the GBP? How is it these days? How is the US trade deficit and the budget deficit? US is relying heavily on the rest of the world to keep the wheels turning. If US isolates itself from the rest of the world it will be 1929 over again, except the rest of the world won't really feel the effect. So to answer your question, the Andorran Navy will do just nicely. |
