Lawrence: I don’t see how you can call adherence
to the WTO a “Republican” enterprise. We joined
the WTO in 1995 during a Democratic administration.
Eric: Money is clearly bipartisan. But
globalization operates in many ways, not merely
the purely business-model or work-group fashion
that Andreas outlined. Consider:
Environmental Globalism, e.g., the spread of
species into ecosystems that are unprepared for
them. Puerto Rican frogs in Hawaii, Brazilian
killer bees in Florida, Bird Flu, usw.
Informational Globalism, e.g., Bombhead Mohammed
riots, the attempts of states to suppress Internet
information such as Yahoo! playing cozy with the
Chinese and giving up a dissident to their gestapo.
Military Globalism, e.g., Dustbin Laden directs
9/11 attacks from Afghanistan; US drives Taliban
from Kabul.
