We open our markets to almost every free or developing nation in the world, yet we find our own products blocked by either direct or indirect obstacles and regulations??

Sorry, but that's just not true. We close our markets, through regulation and subsidy, whenever we find it convenient to do so, and use every device at our disposal to lever open the markets of other countries, especially in the developing world.

When it comes to free trade, the US has found it much easier to preach than to practice.

Not so, the USA has increased farm supports which are detrimental to 3rd world countries and their ability to bootstrap themselves through agriculture. The EU has done the same. Both actions are reprehensible
