Right. The WTO and NAFTA have been a godsend in stopping local evironmental labor regulations that either keep out American companies, or act as a stealth tariff.

Take a look at the Seattle riots in 2000. The lefties were the ones protesting the WTO.

BTW, if you want to complain about "foreign bueraucrats", then at least find a better case than complaining about cotton subsidies.
