WTO-PNTR For China

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

Well how many union members, SPEEA, Machinists etc., will get sucked into
the vortex of the JSF? while they're still building F-16's to sell to say,
Israel and Egypt, Taiwan, Turkey etc.  It needs to become an issue for the
unions here in the US so we can stop the arms race we're having with
ourselves via our proxies.

  I don't think this is a big issue today in the union movement.  Sure,
there are people who are tied to the big dee-fence contractors; and some on
the left who state that war is good for the economy, that's why we have
them.  There probably are a few people who haven't grasped the high-tech
nature of modern warfare and the very real potential use of tactical nuclear
weapons and other nasty stuff regardless of how it is delivered.

  Also, the dee-fence contractors operate on the profit motive and they will
sell anything they can to anybody who is willing to pay, if the government
lets them.  That's always been the case, I don't see why that would change
now.

to continue to make the weapons which would be on hand to make the war
mongering possible? having lots of union members tucked inside the MIC
is/will be a major stumbling block to future international solidarity
strategies. http://www.webcom.com/ncecd/bp18.htmlian

      Mike--This is an excellent url.  I'm going to ship it around to other
Steelworkers so they can see what we are up against and the
corporate/government types pushing this deal.

      Just remember, down the road these same corporate/government types
will be screaming for war with China if their corporate interests get burnt
by a Chinese policy change.  You can bet on it!
