First CAFTA was about tariffs.

Then CAFTA was about "leveling the playing field" and "lifting Central America out of poverty".

Now CAFTA prevents war.

Its a floor polish! Its a dessert topping! What'll it be next?

I'm betting that CAFTA prevents global warming.

Not every war needs preventing: conflict unresolved is conflict postponed, and this is what war prevention (or non-decisive conclusion) means most of the time.

Good post.

CAFTA is about free trade.

Free trade is good; for you, for me, and for them... and for the world.

Just think about the United States integrating economically with countries that have communist guerillas running around killing people. Like NAFTA, the borders will be opened to these countries. The federal government will tell our border agents to stand down when people from these countries enter ours because to stop them would be a "barrier to trade".

I can't imagine any patriotic American that would wish an influx of Salvadorian communist guerillas upon the American people, but they will come here to get money for their cause.

In this case America is freely trading away her security, taxes and culture to prop up countries awash with communist terrorists.

Such a deal!

Now I'm confused. Free Trade promotes stability and diminishes revolution? And we still trade with China and Viet Nam?

I'm not entering this rat hole again. I think we did this last week.

CAFTA will pass eventually, free markets will prevail eventually.

Sorry.

Hohum.

Read a book.

Understand history.

Don't take inevitable geopolitical realities personally.

Don't take inevitable geopolitical realities personally.

One day "free traders" will be unmasked. The "geopolitical reality" they have engineered could be stopped in a heartbeat, if the American people cut off the purse strings to them and elect loyal Americans to office.
