1. Cancun was an important milestone
more from the article:
A better recipe for global democracy was invented in Cancún, and history will never be the same. “Free trade” has lost its luster of inevitability. For the first time in memory, the negotiators for the “small” economies of the world – where more than half the planet’s residents live – stopped being intimidated, divided, silenced, and picked off, by the major economic powers that represent a minority of citizens on earth.

And because the “free markets” push by the bully nations and their owners has long been intertwined, hypocritically, with the imposition of prohibitionist drug policies on the economically weaker nations, the fallout from Cancún fast moves toward similar developing-nation alliances to stand up to the US-imposed drug war.
