And most of the Intellectual Property
treaties, as we know, are initiated
one way or another by some United States
intereats.

As the US government is more pro-business
then pro-citizen, then the term, US government,
means practically, US business. Take Iraq, take
software patents. Naturally, if SW-patents get
enforced in EU, then it's the europeans fault that
they were not smart enough and/or couldn't put up
respectful representatives. We can then blame only
ourselves.

I don't know exactly about
the WIPO, TRIPS, etc. but I believe that one might
end up in the US one way or another.
