While it is certainly an operational issue if there are no operators
left (or on the flip side, too many), I think even that is quite a
stretch.

 

Perhaps the economic discussion can be completed elsewhere?

Hello Suresh,

 

  I appreciate and respect your opinion.  Please offer me that same
respect in kind.  I am aware of the fact of our diverse global economy
and only think as many in US do we should be fair and equitable to all
parties WORLDWIDE.  

 

Respectfully yours,

Joseph

        Now please go unplug all your cisco and juniper equipment.
        
        Then open up your servers and remove all the RAM / hard disks
etc that are
        made in Malaysia / Taiwan etc.
        
        Oh wait - check the labels on your clothes. The last Macy's I
visited had a
        whole lot of shirts / trousers / underwear that had US brand
names but were
        all made in Vietnam / China / Bangladesh etc. You might want to
strip them
        off and wear just your own, all american skin.
        
        Sheesh. Please take it to Lou Dobbs, or if you have any more
rational
        arguments than these to advocate what looks like a boycott of
cisco
        equipment, please take it to somewhere like Dave Farber's IP ..
lots of
        posters there love to beat this dead horse even more than you
do.
        
        srs
