While you do misquote him now at least you're making the effort.

Dean said that he supported NAFTA because it empowered women. He went on to say that he believed that those nations in which women had greater power became more democratic.

I tend to agree with the thesis. Not sure if it's true of Mexico after NAFTA, but it is something that can be researched and proven to be valid or not.

Unlike what you wrote in your OP.
