Bush should have never buckled under the first time. Expect more from the POS EU because of this.

Has the WTO ever sided with the United States in a major trade dispute?

So are we a sovreign nation or what? Can't we enact tax breaks when, where, and how we want? This sets a dangerous precedent and a huge step towards the "global-socialist" community. The WTO is trying to enact legislation on our nation from foreign soil. Haven't wars been fought over less?

Okay. So the EU can set tariffs because they claim America offers incentives for companies to sell abroad. Yet America is condemned for our tariffs on steel being flooded into the U.S. by European encouraged producers. This is clearly a tactic to beat the U.S. into submission to the E.U.
Euro-peons are such two-faced, kniving, double-dealers.

Note how the article stresses the US DOMESTIC POLITICAL SENSITIVITY of these orchestrators of the attacks on U.S. trade:
Trade officials and experts agree that the conflict over FSC is more complex and potentially more dangerous. They point out that taxation is a particularly sensitive issue, and that the beneficiaries of FSC are more numerous and spread more evenly across the US, a notable difference from the steel conflict. And some observers argue that even the lifting of the FSC provision could have dangerous consequences. Nick Clegg, a Liberal Democrat member of the European parliament and trade specialist, said: "To let the US eat humble pie twice in just a few months is not the best way of fostering its love for the multilateral trade system
