Close the trade embargoes.? Not sure what that means..?? You may very well be right that the US can sustain itself better than any other country out there, unfortunately more and more countries (especially in Europe) are coming to the realization, they don't want, nor do they need the US anymore - so we just may have the chance to see if you are correct. As far as my latte is concerned, almost all of the coffee consumed in the world comes from Columbia, Panama, and Costa Rica - I think were safe, for now...
