that the ideas of promoting/engaging in trade and moving the needle in positive directions regarding freedom, human rights and better political structures are not mutually exclusive. Also, many of our best arrows to push for change in other countries are tied to what we may be able to do on some trade fronts. I do think it is both cynical and incorrect to believe we don't try and push some of those levers - sometimes very overtly, sometimes a bit more behind the scenes. It doesn't mean it is always effective or easily measured. Private parties simply aren't going to trade if there isn't potential financial return so I certainly agree that this is always a necessary and driving factor. However, we are dealing with human beings who are actually the ones engaging in trade and I do pretty strongly believe that the beneficial long term effects exist and are a big part of why U.S. policy has promoted trade over the years.
