Bush vs Antigua Round 1

With the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act, Georgey scores a blow to world trade. Antigua, home of many internet gaming sites, has now been forced to appeal tot he World Trade Organization. The law, by outlawing only certain types of gaming and only over the internet clearly is an unfair restriction on trade in favor of American businesses.
If the WTO fails to protect Antigua, we can expect them to retaliate by refusing to honor American laws such as copy rights and patents. Wow this means we can expect to get bootleg CDs, DVDs, software...you name it, it is soon to be unprotected from knock-off artists in Antigua. In fact, every terrorist will probably open a knock-off factory there soon to fund their organization by selling knock-offs of U.S. products to the world.

All this to stop people from gaming on the internet...is it really a smart move, George?
