According to the article quoted, Robert Zoellick said CAFTA is more than a trade agreement.

And who is Robert Zoellick? He's the one guy--formerly the US Trade Representative--who is most responsible for negotiating CAFTA. He says its more than a trade agreement. If he's not an authority, then who is. If the guy who negotiated it says it's more than a trade agreement, then THAT is a fact. Your statement that it is only an opinion is COMPLETELY OFFBASE.

FACT: CAFTA is more than a trade agreement--the guy who helped create it says so.

Your response.

As to "regional integration" that term comes from a US Government website promoting CAFTA. That US Dept of Commerce website says that CAFTA is a step toward "regional integration."

FACT: The US Government promotes CAFTA by saying that it is a step toward regional integration.
