Sheesh. These guys had thousands of years before the white man came along. What were they doing all that time, besides maintaining rigid population control by means of intertribal genocide? Okay, the West was doing more or less the same thing during much of that time. But we finally wised up. And we wised up first. The least they could do is follow our example. Japan took that route, and it hasn't worked out too badly for them.
I'm not sure the WTO and World Bank are the answer, though. There's too many Eurotrash involved in running those things, and too much wishful thinking used to justify them.
