Reform NAFTA? How?

[AntiLempa]

Lately there has been a lot of talk about reforming NAFTA. Howard Dean has said it, Gephardt has said it, DUers have said it. . .Hell, I even heard it on talk radio last night. Actually, the guy on talk radio was a staunch Republican and he favored repealing NAFTA. In fact, he said that he was so fed up with how things aer going that he will not vote for Bush. Granted he also said that he wouldn't vote for a Democrat, but this is a start.

Even the mainstream media is beginning to report so called free trade's shortcomings. It seems that now more than ever there is momentum to reform this aspect of our economic system.

If I was in a position of influence, I would push for the repeal of NAFTA and to disband the WTO. In there place, I would push for a greater role of the United Nations. If used properly, this strategy could help strengthen the UN, improve living conditions throughout the world, and improve America’s reputation.

The UN is a Democratic institution, something that NAFTA or the WTO could never be. I believe that this must be taken advantage of and promoted.

What are your thoughts? Should we reform NAFTA and the WTO? If so, how?
