25 More States Oppose MSFT Antitrust Dismissal
phebz23 writes "News.com is reporting that 25 more states (even Washington!) are rallying behind the previous 9 to prevent Judge Kollar-Kotelly from dismissing the case on the grounds that the states should not have say in antitrust policy which is opposite of Microsoft's motion. They cite the Clayton Act, which grants them the authority to continue the case." Important to note that the states say: "even when the federal government has proposed to settle a case. Congress has granted the states clear authority to proceed independently under Section 16, despite the fact that the federal government has chosen not to act, has proposed to settle a case, has in fact settled a case, or has taken the matter to trial."

OT again... :)
Well, I think what the poster wants to point out, is that in a numerical sense, the palestinians are much worse off. I think they're getting the shaft in lots of other ways too...
For every Isreali that dies, something like 4 palestinians die.
Both sides are acting like kids in a sandbox - "You hit me first!" "No you did." "Make him stop first" etc.
Frankly, I think we (the US) should take our millitary aid, and leave the Israelies to duke it out with sticks and rocks - just like the palestinians. (But we won't because that would destabilize the region, and cheap oil would vanish - I don't think we care a bit about the Israelis at all...) Then, it might actually make both sides stop and think about how neither would be able to win. Finally they might grow tired of fighting endlessly, and actually learn to live together. Right now, both sides are the bad guys. Killing isn't the solution. Unfortunatly, I don't know what is, I just have some ideas.
Perhaps I'm niave, but it sure looks to me as if the US is prolonging the problem, and doesn't care, because it hasn't threatened our supply of oil yet.
Cheers!
