You are a good man Mephisto, even if we don't see eye to eye on a lot of issues, at least you always take a fair and pragmatic approach to the issues discussed (I think thats 2 posts by you tonight that have made me think that, don't remember the other exactly).
As far as the US embracing international organizations when it suits their interests, there isn't one country in this world that would act against its own self interest, so I guess what you said for the US goes for every country.

That may be true for manufactured products, but Florida oranges come from Florida, Idaho potatoes come from Idaho and, well, you get the point.
