NAFTA was merely the first draft of an economic constitution for North America. It was a deliberately lean document, intended only to dismantle barriers to trade and investment. Its architects planned neither for its success nor for the crises that would confront it. Although NAFTA fueled the train of continental integration, it did not provide conductors to guide it. As a result, two setbacks -- the Mexican peso crisis of 1995 and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 -- have threatened to derail the integration experiment.
The is nothing like these articles from the Council on Foreign Relations to convince someone that statements about the NAU being an imaginary conspiracy are misleading to say the least. The US Federal Government seems to be working to keep the common person out of the discussion. It is an interesting possibility and warrents consideration. It's really hard to believe that it isn't getting consideration at the highest levels.
