Reply #32: i understand what you are saying, however,

i do not agree that withdrawing from nafta is the economic version of the invasion of iraq. the invasion of iraq was done for the benefit of the few, in fact many of the world's citizens protested the war before it began (an unprecedented statement), they knew the war was unjustified and would harm many many people. nafta and the other "free" trade agreements also harm many many people while benefiting the few. we have been discussing this from an american perspective, and rightly so, but if you observe the economic liberalization agenda globally, the number of people harmed increases dramatically. i agree there are risks, (i acknowledged this in the other thread), but the current path will lead to the under minding of democracy, both politically and economically.

you are very well informed, and i respect what you are saying as your belief, but the only answer i see coming from the pro-nafta crowd is........all you working, and poor people just grin and bare it, we know what we are doing, ignore the signs and trust us. i just can't accept that. maybe i am misunderstanding you?
