The Amazon Rain Forest has nothing to do with growing corn in Iowa.
 There is, in fact, an excess of corn in Iowa and the world -
witness the sharp drop in corn prices due to the glut in the US and
the World. If China doesn't import our corn we drown in it even
now. Treating US ethanol unfairly will not benefit the Rain Forest
and even if you ignore the "indirect land use" issue, there is
nothing that will prevent South America from doing what they want
with the Rainforest. Maybe they will gtow sitechgrass or sugarcane
or marijuana?  In fact, NOT importing corn ethanol from South
America may be the only control you have over the Amazon.
Boycotting our US corn will not save the Rainforest since we don't
control that land.  Saving our US industries will reduce the
deficit and prevent us from sending our dollars to the Middle East.
 You are stretching beyond reason on this one - SUPPORT U.S.
ETHANOL - I do!!
