...some economic cues from the likes of Joseph Stalin. Still, these odds are better than the sub-30 percent approval ratings President Bush is currently working with. Maybe Americans could use a President who knows his way around an M16. What’s wrong with a little collective ownership, anyway? And doesn’t everybody love a parade? As Parker J. Meares ’07 points out, American ceremonies of pomp and circumstance fall a little flat compared to Communist efforts. “I feel like the Commies have pretty good marching bands...
...government has been responsible for controversial policies-the capital controls in December, and the proposed changes to the Foreign Business Act that could limit overseas ownership of companies in Thailand. What do you think of such moves? No one can adopt protectionism anymore. Thailand has to be ready for globalization-you cannot turn your back on it.

Last fall, the Bush Administration sought to loosen foreign-ownership rules, which ostensibly exist for national security but which critics see as another case of protectionism. U.S. carriers themselves have benefited from foreign funding, especially during the industry's regular downturns. But the last thing domestic carriers want to see is another snazzy, low-cost competitor à la JetBlue. Any hope that the Administration will change the foreign-ownership rule is gone, partly because of political fallout surrounding a Dubai company's attempt...
