Let 'em starve!

This letter, complaining that the environment wasn't discussed in the debates, was in yesterday's paper. Note the third paragraph:

The countries that we are currently outsourcing factory jobs to have less-restrictive pollution and labor laws, which greatly contribute to the bottom line but do nothing to further protect our environment.

So if we didn't allow their goods into this country, these countries wouldn't pollute or continue to have substandard (in these people's view) labor laws? Aren't these the same people who oppose the war because we have no right to impose our ideas on other countries? I wonder how the Iraqis would feel if we told them their oil industry was polluting the earth and they couldn't continue it.
