That is the most convoluted piece of crap I've read in a long time. The contradictions are many (free trade hurts because it send jobs to poorer countries, but it hurts Mexico because it is a poorer country???). There are multiple issues being confused here. First, I agree with the assessment that the U.S. has its military stretched too far across the globe and should be less intent on being the world's police. However, this missive devolves into arguments about free trade and police states with no real reasoning attached. Police state in the U.S.? Give me a break! Try chewing gum in Singapore, spitting in Turkey, or, heaven forbid, be a woman seen without her burkah in Saudi Arabia. Hogwash!

I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.
