미국의 FTA 반대 민간 라디오방송에서 10여분에 거쳐 중계해 주었습니다.

FTA는 한국과 미국이 자국의 국익을 놓고 힘을 겨루는 자리가 아니라,
한국과 미국의 대기업들/이 국가를 앞세워서 이익을 놓고 힘을 겨루는 자리입니다.
한국과 미국의 대다수 국민들은 이 거래의 피해자가 됩니다.
이런 면에서 한국과 미국의 국민들이 힘을 합해 FTA를 반대해 나가는 것이 중요할 것 같습니다.

Two important protests took place in DC this weekend: Antiwar protestors spoke out and beat drums for 24 hours outside the White House, and Koreans descended on Washington to oppose a proposed US-South Korea "Free" Trade deal.
Koreans staged a noisy protest march, starting at the World bank and marching to the White House to oppose a Bush-style free trade agreement.
All over our good Earth, people are rejecting the doctrine of "free" trade. In Latin America, nation after nation is electing anti-globalization leaders. Now the fight comes to Korea.
If the FTA goes through, it will bankrupt Korean farmers. This will force some to seek jobs abroad as migrant labor (sound familiar?) Other farmers unwilling to emigrate in search of work may even be killed by this deal, as has already been happening due to WTO provisions.
In addition, the deal will take away access to generic drugs and even replace korean films with US Hollywood films in Korean movie theaters! On top of all else it will no doubt demand that the people of Korea start eating US genetically-engineeered rice, illegal on most of our Earth.
It is all one Earth—it is all one FIGHT
