The whole idea of "free trade" is a pipe-dream. One of the reasons the American colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence was so that we could trade with the Spanish, French, and Dutch. International trade was about making money. Now its about--as you point out, Jo--lifting people out of poverty while giving corporations cheap labor. Free trade does very little to change the politics or internal affairs of most of these countries, so it is a weak poverty-buster. It does no good to put money in people's pockets if their corrupt governments steal it from them. Nigeria is a perfect example.
