Michael, Not quite sure who are you are pointing your finger at. Gentlemen such as Mr Sweeney and yourself are entitled to your views. However, it might be apposite to point out that the transition of the GATT to WTO took place at least with the blessing of, one might argue at the behest of, governments elected by the American people. So, I don't see your point. Are you attacking the US governance model?
