Well, I believe they feel all we want them to do is, "give, give, give." Instead of having a stand-off and letting the situation deteriorate further (ie Chavez's kind of help) it's time to address the situation. Blind protectionism doesn't help anyone. Every region has strengths and products that others will buy....that's why it's call TRADE - give and take - progress - stability. It will help people stay home and earn a living and take care of their families.

I have a really hard time seeing it happening -- there is so much infighting and corruption down there, where would someone begin?
