Are you referring to the WTO telling the US what to do?

Or the US telling people they can't use the Internet to gamble?

Have you seen ANY atempt to withdraw from the UN by George Bush?

No.

George Bush wants to be beat up by third world nations.

We agreed to trade with other nations on equal footing. Apparently our rules about betting on horses are being unequally applied to foreign businesses.

It sounds like we need to clarify some rules, and legislate some consumer protections that can be applied to both domestic and foreign companies providing gambling.

The WTO is merely an arbiter in the dispute. They are supposed to act as an impartial party to determine if the countries involved are living up to their trade agreements.

If they rule that a country is not living up to their trade agreements, then they can approve the other party enforcing their own tarrifs or restrictions to offset the ones ruled unfair.

It's not like the WTO can force us to do anything.

I wonder if anyone bothered to read the article. The ruling only applies to horse racing, because the US apparently does allow some betting online on that for domestic suppliers. Other than that the ruling recognizes our soverignty to have laws concerning morality as long as they are applied equally to domestic and international suppliers.
