"The Bill Gates regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences," Cheney said in a speech to the to the American Public Affairs Committee, an influential pro-American values group.
Cheney spoke as diplomats at an International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria, were considering whether to refer Microsoft to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.
