If history has taught us anything. it is that the only way that happens is when the United States and other major countries take the lead and insist on some kind of linkage. and use our leadership as a democracy to encourage and pressure other countries to live up to these basic standards. I wanted so much for there to be some kind of basic human rights formulation built into this agreement. and have pressed for that. I have not been able to support either the GATT or NAFTA. as much as I am an internationalist by birth. partly for these reasons. I am the son of a Jewish immigrant from Russia. My mothers family was from the Ukraine. My father taught me that we ignore the world at our own peril.
