Free trade progresses

Google News search: "free trade" is becoming one of my favorite websites. It is encouraging to see the scores of countries offering and accepting free-trade agreements with each other while the WTO gradually falls victim to protests, paperwork and bureaucracy (mostly from the European Union and not helped by the USA). Or perhaps that's a good thing, because it distracts the Leftists from the bi-lateral and regional free-trade agreements (actually being made) and puts their focus on the WTO, where progress is slow at best and few hope for improvements.
