This has nothing to do with trade
Come on people, Bush wants to help Columbia because of the recent dustup with Venezuela. Like the failed Dubai Port deal this has nothing to do with trade, or free markets. The Bush plan was to put troops in Dubai along the Straights of Hormuz, and the plan here is to put US troops in Columbia. I suggest you read the text of Bush's remarks
"We can show a watching world that America will honor its' committments, we can provide a powerful rebuke to dictators and demagogues in our backyard, we can expand US exports and export related jobs, we can show millions across the hemisphere that democracy and enterprise lead to a better life.."
by the way the Iraq economy is improving according to the war lord in chief. Maybe we need some regime change.
