I didn't mean to say that either. I think the government should use the powers at its disposal to ensure that countries that restrict our access to their markets face the same restrictions from us. That's what I meant.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree. There are costs associated with moving operations overseas, and we'll see how this trend shakes out in the marketplace.
I'm going to go work in a conference room for a while, but I'll be back from time to time tonight.
