Shop and awe
Winds of Change notes, "The most powerful things we have in America are not our military. The most powerful things we have are our markets..." and quotes Intel-dump.com:
So, four years after 9/11, why did our government spend so much political energy promoting CAFTA while ignoring trade with the Greater Middle East? Is the economic development of Guatemala more important than Pakistan? And why aren't we demanding that the Europeans open up to agriculture imports?

Read the rest.
