Interesting tidbit from an article today (CNN/Money):

money.cnn.com

"The Wall Street Journal reported that the WTO will miss
Monday's deadline to agree on liberalizing agricultural
trade, critical to the Doha talks' success, in part because the
United States and the European Union -- the world's
biggest agriculture exporters -- couldn't come to terms
about a dispute that was roiling even before the Iraq issue
heated up.

The agriculture row is just the latest in a string of
skirmishes between the Bush administration and other
nations, including the U.S. decision to exit the Kyoto
accords on global warming and the imposition of steel
tariffs that the WTO has ruled are illegal.

"If the U.S. administration is in favor of free trade, it hasn't
looked so much to uphold those standards at the level of the
WTO," said Raymond van der Putten, Euro zone economist
at BNP Paribas in Paris. "

You may want to note that the rift between the US & WTO began before 9/11.
