So, is U.S. afraid that Russia will pull an Antigua?

Antigua has recently taken it's dispute with the U.S. to the WTO over Internet gambling. The WTO found the U.S. in the wrong, and Antigua is asking for free trade as punishment, the right to ignore U.S. copyrights. The U.S. knows that the RIAA's case is weak at best, and does not want to take it to the WTO.

That's rich, considering the US basically ignores the WTO...

...whenever it suits them.

How do we hurt our chances to be in WTO?

Good for Russia. Now if we could just get out of the WTO..

Managed trade is not free trade. WE dont need a world body controlling who we can buy and sell from.

Ditto

The US government shouldn't be the police agent for American
corporations. Let the corporations solve their own problems.

To echo the post for emphasis: managed trade is not free trade.
Not through the WTO, NAFTA, or any other agency or agreement.
People opposed to managed trade and state corporatism are
supporting Ron Paul for president.

issue for USA

The issue for the USA, is if Russia is not in the WTO, then Russia is not bound by the WTO.

USA wants Russia in the WTO more than Russia does...its the usual craptcacular bs from the last propogandists in the world...us government.
