Trading Blows

Eight years after the Clinton administration imposed trade sanctions on the EU for daring to give preference to small scale Caribbean producers over US banana giants, how deliciously apt that Antigua should be the first to take a stand over Bush's latest act of blatant protectionism.

There is no doubt the spectre of Castro -- er, I mean, Chavez -- lurking behind this flagrant violation of "fair play." We Americans are so sorely outnumbered in this world, what is wrong with a little strong arming? Please pity us!
