Wolfowitz Calls For End To Farm Subsidies in "rich countries" but only asks "poor countries to lower theirs.

Yep I'd say that was "free trade" alright, where the competition is based on the merit of the company and its product and not the favoratism of a global socialist organization like the World Bank or the WTO.

He didn't say lower their subsidies, he said lower their protection. He might mean lower to zero. You said "No one in the World Bank or the WTO is calling for the third world to drop any of their subsidies"

Even if he was only asking them to lower subsidies by 50%, that is still asking them to drop subsidies.

Maybe you should ask him what he meant.
