with Chavez's victory in venezuela, the left has once again strengthened its position in latin america. As of now Chavez, Castro, and da Silva are in power, with both chavez and castro contributing heavily to a campaign by morales in bolivia. This is not looking good for the World in general, because it will create further polarization and prevent free trade from coming to light. And as we all kno free trade is the best way to achieve world peace.

Yeah free trade is a good thing but not at the moment, for the Latin American countries. Actually it would be very devastating to most Latin American countries.

Actually no it wouldnt, it would lessen the flow of people leaving most of these countries (i say most b/c nothing can be the same for everyone) It would hevaily improve the economy of several of these nations, mostly nations like argentina and venezuela minus chavez. If anything the best argument one has it how it can possibly affect the U.S. positively.

Yea defintely im leaving out the fact also that the legislature in nicaragua is still run by the sandinistas

A free trade agreement will only destroy most Latin American countries economy.

 

Small businesses will be totally wiped out by the huge competition of large corporations. (textiles, parts, etc.)
