I think that is for the best, China should never have been given MFN
status to begin with, China is the only boycott I'd support as it means
this nation harm and always has, carrying out harm to us with our money and
our support, but America has to be loud and clear about "who" and "what"
globally. I've been in two pickles. One was about sending my old
spaceship into Peru, and the other was about sending a talking dictionary
to someone I know in Macedonia.

The regime has so many embargo's going every which way no one can
breath or move on a rational level anymore. We all have to sit paralyzed
wondering if we'd be arrested for sending an item to this or that nation.
The embargo's are too numerous and too different from each other.

As an American I DO feel like a Berlin Wall has come down around me.
Every embargo is one more mile long stretch built on the wall holding
Americans IN. I am reaching a point where I want this regime to fight me
literally on the streets. It's going to have to defeat me literally
because I am not going to live like this behind a wall much longer.
The enemy against me is to show his or her face. I have the right to the
worthy fight.

I demand a speech to the "peasants." Get Bill Clinton up to the podium
with his bloated face or anyone else. Say it loud and say it clear for
every American to hear, "You can all send what you want to South America,
Macedonia........" List officially with everyone taping it all these
fully free cracks in the prison wall.

I am not unique. If I am sitting here frustrated, angry, confused, and
paralyzed by the length of this Berlin Wall that keeps going up then so are
many others.

America created a smaller world with the Internet. Friends are made.
Exchanges happen. It is going to have to address this and be sensitive to
it. Apple knows if its computer can go here or there but Apple is no
longer the only one with Apple computers.
Users also have Apple computers to ship about.

Where is the hot line we can all call and ask, "Can I send this item to
such and such?"

This may not have been written very coherently. I'm so angry. I want
to answer this by bringing up the pseudo economy of bartering America is
creating with its embargo's, I want to bring up my own frustrations, how
this is all feeling to me and my perspective as another embargo is slapped,
the difference between one that is right versus others that are not, how
insensitive and out of touch the regime has increasingly become to
Americans on the Internet, and I have done a lousy job at it. Oh well.
