I'm sure that many of the members and supporters of NGOs are well intentioned, but let's not put them on too high a pedestal. Amnesty International, for example, has been criticized for alleged bias and ideological agendas, along with other issues. A balanced viewpoint cuts both ways. Free trade may have marketed tobacco in Africa, but it has also lifted millions out of poverty in all parts of the world, and continues to offer the promise of a better life for people in the developing world. It sure beats protectionism.
