Here is the quote I was trying to remember:
"Chavez pushing for the creation of a trade zone just for Latin America and the Caribbean based on socialist ideals. "

"Mexico, the United States and 27 other nations wanted to set an April deadline for talks, but that was opposed by Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Venezuela. "
29 nations are in favor of a US backed FTAA, while only 5 countries are opposed.
Refer to them as "communists" and wince in disgust when you say it.
