If I recalled correctly it was the IMF, not WTO, which did that.  It was 
reversed by mass direct action.  For a while Bolivia seemed on the verge 
of revolution.

"PATRIOTISM, n. 1) The inability to distinguish between the government 
and one's "country"; 2) A highly praiseworthy virtue characterized by 
the desire to dominate and kill; 3) A feeling of exultation experienced 
when contemplating heaps of charred "enemy" corpses; 4) The first, last, 
and perennial refuge of scoundrels.

PATRIOT, n. A dangerous tool of the powers that be. A herd member who 
compensates for lack of self-respect by indentifying with an 
abstraction. An enemy of individual freedom. A fancier of the rich, 
satisfying flavor of boot leather."
