So all those Americans working in the tech support call centers like
Dell's, HP's, SBC, etc. really didn't want their jobs when they were
fired.


I suggest you take a few courses in economics.

A capitalist company (one who requires capital to expand or sustain
operations) has to cut labor costs. They can either do that by shrinking,
or by exporting the jobs.

When a company exports jobs to developing nations, they produce
trading partners, and they reduce the cost of labor. This reduced cost
of labor isn't stuffed into burlap bags, it is used to expand the companies
manufacturing, and produces high-paid manufacturing jobs.

Would you rather have minimum wage call center jobs, or would you
rather have double minimum wage manufacturing jobs?

Capitalists provide freedom, Socialists enforce serfdom.
