I've just learned that several countries in South America have strongly positioned themselves against the future ALCA (FTAA) due to the very protectionist content of America's recently approved "fast track" piece of legislation.
Brazil, in particular, has even passed a motion yesterday afternoon in urgency character to require our government to stop any future negotiations for the implementation of ALCA. All our President and key ministers, specially Mr. Pratini from Agriculture, already made strong statements affirming that, as it now stands, ALCA is DEAD, period!!! These are great news indeed! I salute this development immensely as I'm dead against this hideous unilateral FT agreement that would only benefit the rich and powerful! Alas!... Death to ifp!... :-( Marcus Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/
