The USA government has gone nuts in its efforts to curb online gambling. Recently the feds arrested an English businessman traveling in the USA because he is the CEO of Betonsports.com based in England which accepts online bets from Americans. And just the other day another English CEO, Peter Dicks, of Sportingbet.com was arrested while spending time in New York.

What has this accomplished? Nothing. In fact the arrest of these two executives and threats against their respective companies has been a boon to two other overseas online betting operations: Bodog.com and Betus.com.

The goof balls in Washington should spend their time on going after the fraudsters who made billions bilking Americans in false Katrina project over charges or the sick fraudsters who have ripped off American tax payers with phony charges for work "performed" in Iraq while our soldiers are killed and maimed.

The USA endorses lotteries, horse racing, gambling casinos, bingo parlors and many other forms of gambling. And we will know that illegal numbers games have been thriving in American inner cities for years. We also know that hundreds of millions are wagered illegally every day on professional and college sports. Gambling is here to stay.

Therefore legalize online gambling so American business is not at a disadvantage against overseas business operators.
