The WTO talks are breaking down!  The WTO talks are breaking down!  What are we to do!

Stuart E. Eizenstat and Hugo Paemen are frantic in a Washington Post op-ed today. 

The World Trade Organization and global trade itself are at a critical crossroads, with one last chance to salvage the Doha round of talks. Failure would be disastrous for the WTO, would be particularly harmful to the least developed countries and could lead to a breakdown of the multilateral trade system.

Hey Stu and Hugo, WTO membership has nothing to do with actually increasing trade.  There's no statistical relationship fellas. Your angst is misplaced.
