Plus the biggest questions in my mind here are indeed political rather than literary. Does Europe really have the raw power to force the breakup of a big multi-national headquartered elsewhere? I'm not sure, but, probably, yes. Would it be a good idea to tweak the American elephant this way? Probably not. |
I suggest you browse the News forum a little, you may find this isn't the only thread on a non-related topic. If it really bothers you, complain to the moderators... and remember not to pick on this thread exclusively. Also, don't be surprised if they ignore you.
