>Their indifference speaks for itself. If they cared any, they would have provided a more convincing excuse. Slapping the public opinion with such a lame one is bordering with insult, to the people of both countries.

I don't think they are indifferent, at least so far as the politics go, but I am surprised they have not given a better excuse. It's always interesting when ideologies (free trade) conflict with political realities (the power of the drug companies).
