Failure of World Trade Talks

After what seemed like a promising announcement a few days ago, yesterday we learned that the WTO talks had once again failed to reach agreement, after 7 years of negotiations, no less. The implications of this failure are huge, and will lead no doubt to worsening poverty in many parts of the developing world, while the rich west protects its own short term interests once again. If our leaders are incapable of reaching agreement on such important issues, perhaps we should get rid of them and appoint representatives that are better able to do their jobs?
