It's the Hypocrisy, Stupid

I didn't make that title up, but I think it's appropriate. Bush just approved tariffs on steel imports. I wouldn't have a problem with that if it weren't for the "free trade" slogans the White House always tosses around when laying guilt trips on other countries. OK, granted it was a compromise, and yes it's unrealistic to think the U.S. is ready for free trade just now. But then why do we have to be so arrogantly demanding in our relations with other countries??

I wish George W. Bush would take a lesson from George W. Bush. In the second debate he posited that America needs to be more humble. That campaign splinter (it wasn't really a plank) needs to make a major comeback!
