"Umm . . . something about the market being the entire world?"
My reference was to Jefferson.
Before you ask a question like that you should at least find out what he thought about free trade. (Hint: he didn't think that the market was the entire world).
Also, the post was about the Barbary Pirates, not the size of the market.
Jefferson went to war with the Barbary pirates to open sea-lanes through the Med, your sophistry notwithstanding.
