well we followed you guys into an illegal war in Iraq for no good reason from our point of view) and are now bearing the brunt of taking on the Taliban head on in Afghanistan - so (stupidly) it seems as though our government is different

LMAO!!!! - er it is a little to the left of Mein Kampf (and not as foamingly mad as it's downmarket equivalent the Daily Mail) but that's about it... it does have the best sports coverage though

What does this have to do with poker? Please keep the war [censored] out of future discussions.

The UK and EU will happily beat up the US in the WTO over Poker. In terms of a case it's a post river nuts hand and they will push it hard (then do some dodgy deal on something else).

I wish the US would let some of our gaming companies start online gambling, but its very unlikely. I think the way it is right now, the gov't believe states should have the right to control gambling. If they allow legal US based online gaming it would no doubt be over state lines. I think that is why our gaming companies never really pursued online gaming.
