People really need to understand that antitrust and monopoly do not mean the same thing. The existence of a competitor does not automatically make antitrust behavior OK. The main focus of antitrust law is how an action effects consumers; effects on competitors are only interesting in the sense of effecting consumers. (With the understanding that more competition generally means more choices for consumers, which is held as a Good Thing™.) I would suggest giving the Wikipedia antitrust article a good read, as a start:
