#1 Pascal Lamy has a history of raping the US. This is not good.

#2 The rich countries, though, are showing few signs of hurrying to dismantle agricultural protection.
The EEEEEVIL rich haves are not letting the haves not play. Maybe it is because it still is a heck of a lot cheaper and more efficiant to have one farmer in a modern tractor farm what it takes 100 peasents to do in other countries.
Besides, I like that one farmer better, his wife makes a mean apple pie.

#3 If we even try to depend on those 100 farmers we will all starve. That is something that the people against ag tariffs don't even understand. That is why so much of the "3rd" world is undernourished. It has nothing to do with tariffs. They simply can't grow enough food most of the time to feed all those who need to be fed.

The protectionist EU incharge of the WTO? Get ready for a world wide depression fueled by protectionist clap trap and taxation passed off as tariffs.
