From the front page of the
World Trade Organization's website:
Historic Complaint For "History's Biggest Subsidy"
Six developing nations have lodged a complaint against the US, calling the Iraq War "history's biggest illegal trade subsidy" and "market distortion on a gargantuan scale." "In a free market, companies like Halliburton and Exxon should be funding their own market expansion projects instead of depending on their government for help," said a spokesperson for the consortium.
Ok. So that's not really the
WTO Website. It's an "identity correction" website by
The Yes Men. They
spoofed the Heritage Foundation recently with this idea.
But I'm going to start using that argument anyway.
