John,
I like your approach - simply no comments
I think the way as your legislation guys decided to follow can be =
absolutely wrong.
My opinion that the real problem laid in financial issues with =
developing countires and US native commercial interests that you (not =
you personally - of course) aimed to protect
All this discussion have only financial background - no more.

You can reference not only to magazines - but more on House of =
Representatives which expressed their opinions more openly.
