>> I don't see a problem with the Australian government calling on Mexico to block
>> dolphin importation. 

Right, so an organization which survives by forcing me to pay taxes, requests a third party (which survives the same way) to initiate force against a fourth party to prevent them trading freely in dolphins.

>> Freedom of speech, surely.

An interesting interpretation of 'free speech' - and right up there with the leftist notion of freedom, meaning freedom to help themselves to my belongings.

Don't you think that part of free speech is that it is free for everyone else too? Ie that no-one else is forced to pay for it?

>> Mexico is free to ignore them.

OK, and the citizens of Mexico are free to ignore the laws of their government. I had no idea that Mexico was such a model of libertarianism in the modern age! Jeeves, pack my bags! We're emigrating!
