Think about Japan.  Why would they want to buy an American car if the 
steering wheel is on the wrong side?  We don't have that problem with a 
Toyota or Mitsubishi.  How is it that we can send a letter addressed in 
English to Japan and it gets to its destination?  What would your 
mailcarrier do with a letter addressed in Japanese?  Japan makes its own 
excellent electronic devices and motorcycles.  Why would they pay, I 
would think a higher price, for American products?

Before even worrying about Japan, China, India, etc., shouldn't we make 
products that Americans would choose over imports?  And when we buy 
those products, wouldn't it be good to know that we're helping another 
American make a living?  Seems like businesses are making the sale by 
selling out their country.
