Free Trade.....Free Trade.....Wah wah wah...You show me complete free trade between any two countries and I'll show you a Wahabi wearing a yumuelke(sp).The Wall Street Journal's Editorial page is usually very very good until they start whining about the steel tariffs.

And this latest attempt to cast more derision on the domestic steel makers by citing the hard times that a domestic steel drum maker is having ; is hypocritical at best, pathetic at worst.

The WSJ more than likely has no love for the USW and is still harboring a view of the steel industry that dates back to the Disco Seventies.

Hey WSJ......Where were you free traders when the Asian Tigers delivered double digit investment returns thanks to their various flavors of protectionist, crony, undemocratic and eventually unworkable econonmies.

Quit crying !!

Yea, and the Asian tigers aren't doing so well, now, due to their cronyist version of "capitalism". Free trade works. It sounds as if you are the one crying. I see no reason to penalize three workers just so one can keep a job that is uncompetitive.

Free from tyranny HA! Here's a few more names you might want to consider:
1." Ignorance is strength"
2." War is peace"
3. " Slavery is freedom."
If tyranny has any meaning at all it is the use of force to arbitrarily make somebody's whim happen at the expense of another. That is what a tariff is by its very nature and this article shows quite clearly how some people have been tyrannized. Free trade not only works better , it is the most moral way for people to act.
