Ban of sales to north korea for the ipod?

I just read this link about the ban of sales to north korea for the ipod. How do people feel about this?

There are tons of really cool electronic products that sell in Japan & elsewhere, but the US has never - and will never - import them, to try to "keep america competitive" which is something of a sick joke, given that we export a ton of well paying jobs in computer science overseas & then have issues with granting visas to enough talented, educated people who could come here for the same job, and then help the American economy.

Does that answer the question? It might have a small impact on Apple computers revenues, but the bigger issue is free trade...which is a very large & broad topic.
