Perhaps some of the rpoblem is that too many conceive of a one world government more at control and authority than coordination and management. I think the UN was originally conceived as a forum for international exchanges, not so much as a policing authority. If seen as a policing authority, then the UN cannot prevail.

But, I'm concerned that the WTO is displacing the UN and it is much more closed and subversive -- as if the UN is to satisfy the naivety of the masses while the WTO takes care of those who really matter.

I have no doubt that the WTO will ultimately be capable of ruining any nation or culture it chooses to target. Now, since it isn't elected and it isn't legislated and it isn't subject to open inspection, what will keep it from seeking and getting economic dominance?
