2. America is still the strongest power
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (04.19.15)
in the world BY FAR.
3. Delusional congress critters
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (04.19.15)
Most of the countries on earth are tired of the USA bully and more and more want to hurt USA companies.in favor of their local companies. This type of anti-trade laws will give countries a handy excuse to punish USA companies. Congress critters are so full of hubris, they have no idea how this will backfire , but they will soon find out when the CEOs of Google, etc come looking for the congress critters with pitchforks and torches. The USA business leaders are getting very angry about all this anti-business stuff being passed by state legislatures and the congress.
4. BDS
Non Jewish immigrant ,   haifa   (04.19.15)
lol, I'm a fervent supporter of BDS actions against illegal Israeli settlements and businesses in the West Bank and if Israel can't do a thing about because it's my opinion and right as a consumer to boycott some product I consider illegal, how on earth the U.S. will forbid me to do so? That's really a non issue.... Next! G. Moscatelli
5. Good
Olavi ,   Espoo, Finland   (04.20.15)
This shows American can put the basic values of founding fathers to function. EU has no values and no respect to God so it is sinking to marginal.
7. Gag order?
Yvonne ,   Hardinsburg, IN   (07.10.15)
Basically...this is a Gag order on freedom of speech (including individuals) and penalties of companies, with penalties in the extreme , in an effort to control EU companies as well, right? So it is to prevent prejudice of a country that uses prejudice and prevents a peaceful way to stop a country, from questionable if not illegal, actions. Boycotts were used as a method to stop Apartheid in Africa effectively, so because our Government is backing Israel (the rest of the World does not) we do not want this to happen here. Do I have this straight?
