"because we share more, culturaly and economicaly with Latin-America thta with the rest of the world..."

How did you arrive to this conclusion? Factually speaking, we share much more economically and culturaly with Europe and the USA than with latin America.

But i don't disagree that we should favor trade with latin america, but i think more trade with the European Union should be our present top priority...

Totaly agree with codc01.

This war aint against Irak but against the Europe Union.
Irak made a profit jump of 20% in 2000 just by switching from US$ to $Euro. 10 more countries just entered the UE this week. Culrurally, we are well positionned to trade with this new emmerging giant.

I do not agree that we share more "culturally" with Europe than with Latin America. I travelled to El Salvador and was amazed at how much we share with this country.

I think more trade with the European Union could be very dangerous because we expose our economy to the dictates of Brussels - who are far more protectionist than our American counterparts.
