Either Americans Change Government - Or The World Will Do It For Us

President Bush, with a straight face, can announce to the world, as he just did in London, that he is a free-trader — while wooing electoral constituencies by slapping Chinese fabrics with quotas (which had been previously removed) and foreign steel with high tariffs. If that’s being a free-trader, I’d hate to see him as a protectionist. Why should those whom Bush urges to lower trade barriers take him seriously? (Read the rest here)
