Virtually every international treaty is a voluntary agreement. Any country that doesn't like the provisions is free to quit. Don't like the WTO? Well, don't sign it. Don't bitch about other countries benefiting from it, though. Any country that feels a particular agreement is prejudicial to its interests is free to not accept it.

Are you serious? I don't know what country you live in, but here in the U.S. we had only two presidential candidates who were allowed to appear on television, and they were BOTH in favor of joining the WTO! I didn't get a choice, and I'm guessing, neither did you. International business is a force more powerful than governments.

I can't think of a time when a country was bombed because they didn't sign a trade treaty.

Sometimes its hard to tell why a war starts. Did the American revolutionary war start because of a disagreement over government, or trade? (Tariffs definitly played a role, though). Did the gulf war start because of territorial questions, or did the international community just want to make sure oil trading continued normally?

Your argument is very idealistic and doesn't really reflect the actual world.
