Re: A prediction of what is to come from the left.
"Will any British companies be on the list, she asked archly? Any Australians? Will (heaven forbid!) any German or French firms? Czech? Spanish?"
Forget that large companies are international and you could have both ways?
Isn't the question: are they going to be the same companies that worked with a oppressive regime? Doesn't the Left spend a fair amount of time arguing that large American companies shouldn't work with oppressive regimes? Don't you want large American companies to now, invest in regime which is going to be democratic and fair to it's citizens? Makes political sense, if these companies actually listen to the Left, they would now be "rewarded", no?
