Story: US Government 'lobbied EC' over Microsoft fine

Give me a break. Some of you computer geeks have been sniffing the silicon too much. Governments lobby on behalf of their nation's business interests all the time. The US is at war now because of it and yet the EU criticises us for it. Iraq broke international laws for years and the EU let them get by with it and stabbed the American government in the back. Now the lunatic in Iran wants nukes and the EU is quite content to let them have them. Why? To protect their respective national business interests in Iran. Talk about hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!Get real.
