Letter to the Editor:
Disagree With Your Assessment of IMBRA

It seems a federal judge didn't agree with you on there being a "need" for the mail order bride law (see www.imbra.org). The law has been overthrown and President Bush lost my respect for having signed it (and I am sure he gained no respect from the liberals for signing it).

Next time... please try to be an American, not a Cuban or Soviet on such issues. ;-)

The law would have forced all agencies out of business who only had telephone and postal address information for women. That wouldn't have been fair at all. The judge actually stated that the real reason for the law must have been something other than protecting women.

This means our courts are on to the real reason: feminists want to force American men to deal with them and have no alternative.

At the bottom of your site you show a collage of women's profiles that one can only see on so-called mail order bride sites. American dating sites never show decent photographs. That is one reason why American men use the international dating sites and fly to Europe for the weekend to meet great women.

You got your concept of "control" from some Woman's Studies course you must have just taken at college. There is no control issue. Men just don't necessarily want to date and marry leftist women (Democrats) or frigid women (Evangelical "Christian" Republicans)... so they date Europeans or Asians who aren't politically polarized.

And seriously... how many dating sites are profitable? I use a free dating site here in Germany. That is correct. It costs $0 to use and has the best women.

I predict that free online dating will be an extra feature of portals in the future.

Editor's Note - The issue of control and abuse is not something we pulled out of thin air. It was based on researched numbers that the government presented in its report and appears to be the underlying reason for the International Marriage Broker Act being crafted in the first place. If those numbers (or the problem) didn't exist, then we likely would have taken a different stance. We also noted that one thing we did not like about the law is the number of businesses that would have to close and the monopoly effect it could create. And yes, an appeal filed by attorney Ralph Goldberg, in Georgia, for the service European Connections, has resulted in a temporary injunction against enforcing the law for the plaintiff while the issue is explored further. How this ends up and affects the entire industry remains to be seen. For the record, we know people who have had wonderful relationships/marriages as a result of meeting someone overseas.
