Right on.  Why is legal for Toyota and GM to collaborate (i.e. built a
joint assembly plant in Fremont, CA) and not Ford and Chrysler, for
example.  BMW and Daimler-Benz in Germany cooperate in joint factories,
not for assembly of complete cars, but in specific components to get an
advantage *over the foreign competition*.

A real tragedy for America was the breakup of AT&T.
