Trade-Off
The United States has suspended imports of Canadian beef following the discovery in Canada of a mad-cow-diseased cow.
Sensible enough, perhaps. But at precisely the same time, the U.S. is taking its "beef" with the EU's refusal to import genetically modified foods from the United States to the WTO, claiming the EU has "perpetuated a trade barrier".
Ah, that lovable Bush Administration. If nothing else, you've gotta give it credit for leaving no stone unturned in its quest to destroy the world.
