LOL Do a web search and find out who has been dealing with Iraq. Check out who has been
providing them with communication systems for their anti aircraft installations, who
provided intelligence reports on Iranian troop movements, components for chemical warfare
and the gear for their nuclear program. Most Americans would be embarrassed to see the
results.

Not exactly, the US has tried to argue that the lower stumpage fees are a form of subsidy,
and by paying lower stumpage fees the wood is being sold for less than its real value. The
issue has been reviewed by independent trade panels and all have concluded that it does
not constitute a subsidy.
