Stepping up the economic pressure on the Islamic Republic the US government is squeezing European firms to cut off their business ties with Iran or risk their American business. Is there a Halliburton get-out-of-sanctions-free clause where companies are banned from trade but a foreign based, wholly owned subsidiary of a foreign based, wholly owned subsidiary can do what it wants? Or is that option reserved for companies headed up by US Vice President "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney?

That's really unfair. Halliburton must pay for its share of political clout just the same as other corporations. And besides, we're gonna need them come time to invade Iran. Of course, we could save ourselves the trouble and just pass a law giving them our money directly- economically the same, just saves a lot of life; I'm sure Haliburton doesn't care one way or the other.
