The WTO notion that the United States would agree to trade services deemed illegal by its own laws is absurd.
Maybe, but technically it is our soverign right.
I think everyone is missing the point of what I have been trying to say. We (WTO, included) would be better off not putting too much pressure on US Government; and its citizens externally. This fight will be won, internally ;via The Courts,Legislative Branch, etc. The last thing the WTO wants to do is make it a US Vs the World fight. One thing Americans seem to do is ban together in light of a National Tragedy or a challenge. By trying to Bully Americans in to paying external nations a sum, in light; which most Americans don’t feel they have a right too. Will cause animosity and distainment toward those nations. Especially those who many Americans feel are already getting more then their share of a fair shake (China,India, some ways Japan).
Let us handle it here internaly and things should be alright. In a lighter note: American Idol 911 says that we should have a court date for the injunction against the UIGEA sometime this or early next week. Maybe they will release a public copy of the compliant so we can see what sort of teeth it has.
