Slam 'em where it hurts

Bush is so dumb. Whilst the EU is almost sloth like in the length of time it takes to make a decision, the fact that they do act in the end after such long deliberations makes their actions all the more significant. The WTO gave the EU permission yesterday to slap tariffs on American exports. Whether the US hates Europe for being leftwing 'surrender-monkeys' of not, economic sanctions would HURT! Sucks to that! link and again link

Of course the sanctions would hurt poorly paid workers most - they'd be the ones to be fired. What would be really creative would be to impose duties on all transactions by American banks with Europe. In that realm (hopefully) only the rich would be busted.
