...will care about war as long as they think they can get away with using war to advance corporate interests.
About NAFTA, WTO etc.--these are absolutely instruments of economic violence, designed to suck $$ out of poor countries for the benefit of transglobal corportions who owe no allegiance to anything but their bottom line.
The 3rd world will develop the same general way we did.
What do you mean by "general"? Did I understand Dean to say that our trading partners should have the same labor standards as the US? Trouble is, wouldn't that exclude (in the short term) anyone outside Western Europe? There was some mention during the last debate about using ILO standards.
Can you point me in the direction of Dean policy statements about trade? Couldn't find anything specific on his site.
