Re: "I figured this was a blessing in disguise for the workers and campesinos of Chile. :)"

>>> LOL!

>>> Not really, Chile is the most free market-oriented economy in South America... but we throw free trade principles over-board (hurting both us, and them) if they won't vote exactly the way we want them to in international forums.

>>> Now look at Australia, one of the most free market economies in all of Asia. They sell free market wheat (no subsidies) to Iraq - their largest market for wheat - and they do vote the way we want them to on international questions of war... and even commit their own troops... and we STILL screw them by cutting them out of the Iraq market with our subsidized (non-free market) wheat.

>>> What's the advantage of siding with the US... if you get screwed either way?
