Panama need only worry about the displacement of its farmers for American based Fortune 500 "Agribusiness." Its a trend for even American agriculture to be outsourced.

What do you think is a more productive method of agriculture, 40 acres and a mule or 12 hectares and a burro?

Its a demand for the "free traders" at the WTO, which our home grown "free traders" are eager to comply.

There is a demand to eliminate high dollar agriculture in the US by these freakin' globalist 'economists'.

A key demand of African cotton producers was met by the commitment to end cotton export subsidies by 2006, though the U.S. would have to do this anyway as a result of losing the recent WTO panel ruling against the cotton regime.

Now no African cotton producer should have so much sway over US producers, d'ya think? Especially since our government is supposed to protect individual rights, not kowtow to the globalist soviet style politics of the WTO. American citizens may decide what they want with cotton export subsidies, but NO OTHER COUNTRY should be able to make demands like this and set the time table to boot.
