Bush attempts to rally calls to free trade, stifles yawn.

In what might (hopefully) become his final international address, Mr. Bush lauded the importance of international free trade. While describing the benefits, in the same speech Pres. Bush warned about the dangers that a deregulated economy could bring and also raised calls for more government intervention. While the call for a greater understanding and adoption of free trade is justifiable, the ignorance in asking for it while introducing the concept of greater government regulation in the economy is not.
