I tend to agree. The other good news here is that US embargoes have
been dwindling of late.  Iran and Cuba were the really big ones in the
past, and both of those are on their way out.  However, this is one of
the downsides to having your sole legal existence in the US.  I'm not
sure to what extent having independent orgs in multiple countries
helps here.
