EU Ambassador Questions U.S. Container Scanning Law

In conjunction with his visit to Baltimore today, European Union Ambassador to the United States, John Bruton, voiced concern over a U.S. law requiring all containers destined for the United States to be scanned:

Recent U.S. legislation stipulates that by 2012 every container on a ship destined for a U.S. port from Europe or other foreign country must be scanned by imaging equipment. However, the law does not require containers on ships leaving the United States going to Europe to be scanned in the same way.

And of course the countries exporting to the US would have to pay for it. Good grief, when do we have to stop bowing down to these people and realise that they are quite selfish and demanding. They are not going to be the world power for very much longer as people are really tired of their self-centred attitude. I am gradually changing my attitude as well to them as my eyes are being opened to their selfishness and ignorance of the rest of the world. Have a look at the wars they fight. If it does not serve their purpose, then they don't bother even looking at the problems of the world.
