Comment of the day

"You make a lot of assumptions about CAFTA - namely, that it actually is a free trade agreement, and that it will be a boon to the average Central American. I think both assumptions are questionable at best."

I guess you missed my main assumption that CAFTA will make Central America more connected with the rest of the world and that is always a good thing. Regions more connected with the rest of the world tend to have more rights for women, minorites and basic civil liberties. Regions disconnected tend to have no such protections for example, Africa, Middle East, (parts of)Asia.
