USA shows a Gambling hypocrisy

A recent editorial from LA Times makes a good point on the US policy towards gambling that shifts from the recent UIGEA law that prohibited credit card companies from processing gambling transactions to a new licensed environment suggested by the Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

All that in combination with the WTO-gambling conflict with Antigua, that continues to put USA in a strange position, claiming that “it was not required to comply with a WTO ruling to open its borders to the Internet gambling industry because of an “oversight” in a decade-old trade agreement.”

This stupid attitude saying – we will change the WTO terms cause we’ve changed our mind -  shows why WTO is good only for the big countries.. Show me the contrary, please..
