So the Chinese will ship all their lead-contaminated products to other countries instead.

Step 1: Don''''t buy Chinese. Don''''t buy Mattel. Buy American.

US surge has failed - Iraqi poll

BBC News
60% of Iraqis feel attacks on US are justified.

About 70% of Iraqis believe security has deteriorated in the area covered by the US military "surge" of the past six months, an opinion poll suggests.

The survey by the BBC, ABC News and NHK of more than 2,000 people across Iraq also suggests that nearly 60% see attacks on US-led forces as justified.

And it isn''t going to get any better. We have basically outsourced our industrial base and are now at the mercy of suppliers like China. Buy American? Boycott China? Good luck with that. Just look around your kitchen...

But the elephant in the living room that nobody wants to mention is the root cause for all of this. It isn''t Mattel''s fault. Their mandate is profit, not public welfare. In today''s world it is folly to expect Corporate America to do the right thing. It''s partly the government''s fault. Public welfare is the mandate of the government, despite outcries of "nanny state." However, public welfare is compromised by political expedience when it comes to dealing with big business. But ultimately it''s our own fault. Today we demand bottom-dollar consumer goods, and we don''t ask too many hard questions. Perfect. Free. Now. Even if it isn''t Perfect, if it''s Free and Now we''re good to go. But the other side of the coin is you get what you pay for. Mattel is satisfying our demand for cheap consumer goods, and the only thing they want to make is money (not toys). Meanwhile, the government is all too happy to pursue policies that help Mattel satisfy our demand...

Allow me to help them out. How about printing up some signs for retailers that say, "Our toys may cause brain damage and/or death to your children"?
