WTO rules breed lawlessness and loss of national sovereignty. Borders, language, culture ...

Anyone who gambles on-line with a casino based in a foreign country (friendly towards the U.S. or not) is an IDIOT. What makes you think that the casino is being run honestly? If you are cheated, what are you going to do, call the cops?

Antigua has said it expects changes in US rules to unlock opportunities to advertise online gaming products on US Internet sites or media without the threat of legal action by authorities. What authorities? If you are cheated while gambling at an on-line casino, you are out-of-luck (more ways than one). Don't believe me, do a search for on-line gambling scams. The internet is loaded with them.

In its ruling, the WTO accepted that prohibitions in some US states on cross-border gaming were valid and agreed with Washington's argument that some federal laws could "protect public morals or maintain public order." How is making it illegal for me to play poker at UltimateBet.com or any of the hundreds of such sites protecting public morals and maintaining public order?

However, the appeals panel ruled that the United States had not been able to show that US laws on horse-racing bets were applied equitably to foreign and domestic online betting suppliers, a key condition of global trade rules. Let me get it straight. Suppose Antigua decides to legalize cocaine trade, which is illegal in the U.S. If I then decide to broker a cocain deal in Antigua over the Internet, our govenment has to respect that?
This is aside from the question of how much, exactly, did Antigua pay for the Internet created by Americans and paid for by American taxpayers? Now THEY have to tell US how to use it?
