According to Investor’s Business Daily yesterday, the trade agreement that would have opened Columbia up to American markets has now been signed by the European Union.  So instread of America, Europe will reap the rewards of American efforts in Columbia.  The U.S. has spent a decade cleaning up Columbia,  Plan Colombia and other programs contributed decisively to Colombia’s peace and security, laying the groundwork for new markets to form.  Now, because of a Democrat congress opposing free trade, someone else will reap the fruit of our efforts.  It is a shame that Nancy Pelosi chose to take the result of American efforts and hand the profits over to someone else.  Sort of like taking the fruit of our labors and giving to industries that have refused to change with the marketplace.  At least she is consistent.
