The taste of their own medicine

The US should face damages in excess of 3 billion USD annually for its refusal to comply with a World Trade Organisation ruling that its restrictions on offshore internet gambling are illegal according to the government of Antigua and Barbuda. The US is also facing serious pressures from the European Union, Japan and India after it unilaterally abrogated provisions of the General Agreement on Trade in Services after losing the WTO ruling last year. The EU is also seeking compensation in the matter.

I really think that these damned foreigners are exhibiting incredible hubris by suggesting that the United States should be forced to abide by rules that obviously should only apply to others!
