Obviouisly not. It you think that, then you did not see what is happening. However, notice the disruption of Mexican tortilla prices when Americans started spending money on ethanol - and suddenly shortages of American corn appeared in Mexico. Why do Mexicans not grow their own corn? They cannot. Mexican grown corn does not get subsidized by the American government. They import American corn.

Do we make life harder for some by restricting free trade? Are you denying what most all nations walked out of Cancun three days early? They made that point bluntly years ago. Are you denying why the only GAAT trade round has collapsed? Or are you denying this only because you never heard it?
