What? they haven`t been competing on a fair playing field? I guess if you consider they are run by dinosars thinking like it`s still the 20th century that might be the case.

Just to show you how stupid this is, DC is a GERMAN company, yes they are owned by GERMANS. So why is my tax money bailing out a German company owned in large part by a German bank???? If DaimerChrysler AG is so worried about losses in its Chrysler division then they had better get on the ball, or dump Chrysler. Why would Chrysler need money for such technoligy when MB it's parent company is currantly doing it. Oh I am so glad that a few billion of my tax dollars is going right into Germany, yeah thanks.

Now for the last two, they made there bed let them lie. They don't need a gov loan, the very idea makes me sick. If they cannot compete on there own then let them go under and be replaced by someone who can.

Together, Mideast nations, the governments themselves, not the people who live and own businesses there, own the largest stakes in DCX. Kuwait leads the charge with around 7% I think.

Ah...
