I doubt it. This is a move fully backed by the WTO, of which the U.S. is a member. Any retaliation on the part of the U.S. for exercising the right the WTO has given them will not be looked on fondly. Odds are, if they do retaliate, they'll get an even bigger slap down.
If I'm responsible for the security of your home, and I set up you're system, and you never use it, you don't get to blame shit on me. Period. I could set up the best security system money could buy, but it still takes some effort from the homeowner. You could have twelve locks on your stainless-steel front door, windows that bolt down with military-grade padlocks and a system that literally shoots the intruder on entry, but if you don't lock the door, lock the windows or set the system, anybody can still get in. The problem is, people expect their home security to ultimately fall into their hands. They expect no such thing with computer security...

Not quite. As far as I know, becoming an exit node is entirely optional. You can take advantage of the network without ever hosting an exit.
Show me any one of those things besides "A period of 100 years." that is actually still used/understood by the public.
