This is the real new world order at work: <<GENEVA, Aug 28 (Reuters) - World Trade Organisation (WTO) judges on Monday ruled that the United States must change a law which for 84 years has provided for civil and criminal penalties on foreign firms which dump goods on its markets. The ruling, by the WTO's quasi-judicial Appellate Body, confirmed an earlier finding against the law by a dispute panel set up at the request of the European Union and Japan.>> I still find it incredibly amazing that ANY non-elected, non-accountable body of bureaucrats can overturn the duly-enacted laws of a sovereign nation. Of course, I find it equally amazing that no one seems to care. And left unchallenged, these rulings will be accretive to the power of the WTO.
