Quietly, the 'conservative' 'America First' Bush Administration has just signed on to another layer of government, one unaccountable to US voters, which hopes to move the America's into the next European Union, only quicker this time.

The agreements are aimed at strengthening environmental protection and creating a Secretariat for Environmental Matters to help implement the environmental provisions of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).

Now are you sure that all this does is commit member nations to enforce their own environmental laws? If so, why is an "Environmental Secretariat" needed?

No one is perfect, and I have yet to find a politician I agree with 100%. In the real world the political contributor come before the common citizen.
At least he’s a darn sight better than Hanoi John would have been.

Interesting topic. Thanks for the article.

I have had experience in transactions across the Canadian-USA border both before and after NAFTA and my experiences tell me there is no such thing as "free trade". These transactions cost plenty in fees and paperwork.

Also the transactions do not only take place between countrys. They take place between people and/or companys and no one works against their own best interests. There are always profits and benefits for both partys.

Your title is misleading. Where does it say the president signed CAFTA?

Interestingly, the moderators just changed the title of this thread to the headline as it appears at the source.

The interesting part isn't that; it's that the actual headline is even more misleading than the one you chose.

If CAFTA is an environmental agreement, I guess tort reform is, too.

One thing that these "great thinkers" have failed to consider is China..

It may end up a "new order" but they will not be the one that has drops power in their laps
