The reality is that the world already is globalizing. No one can turn back that tide.

Globalization could be ended in three months by the Congress of the United States acting on its own authority.

There's good globalization and bad globalization.  We all agree that we hate countries that export disease, oil slick our beaches, and sneak across our borders.

Let's also agree that we like coffee from Latin America. Nigerian oil, the Beatles, and Chrome from Russia.  We also like internationally managed telephone, postal, and other communication services.   We want most international agreements because they provide for things like shipping protocols and criminal extradition.  Even if those treaties are so boring that we never talk about them.

Nobody wants to end all globalization any more than we want to swear off our morning coffee. 

BTW, anyone who disagrees with me is not allowed to use his Asian-made computer chips to post a rebuttal.
