When is trade wrong? We all know that the US has had sanctions on Cuba for almost half a century. That doesn't seem to stop lots of Americans visiting Havana and enjoying cigars, rum and girls. Could they be prosecuted if they are found out?
America is trying to get Bobby Fischer extradited for playing a chess match in the former Yugoslavia. That's right, a chess match.
Meanwhile, our Vice President, Dick Cheney, and the company he used to run, Halliburton, are being probed for doing business in Iran. Hey, aren't they the axis of evil?
First, we'll see how far the Halliburton issue goes. (By the way, it is fair to single Dick Cheney out because he was running the company when these allegations took place.)
Hmmm.....I wonder. If our Vice President is capable of doing something like that is our President in the same boat? I'm not sure. But his grandfather sure did. Prescott Bush did deals with Nazi Industrialists from 1924-1951. He even thumbed his nose at the American Government after they seized five of his companies.
After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen "enemy national" relationships that continued until as late as 1951, newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal
Now to be fair, you can't criticize Bush Jr. for what his Grandfather did but I have never heard of one peep out of any of the Jewish Organizations in America. Meanwhile, I get called an Anti-Semite left and right. Excuse me while I go check my family tree.
