Wolfowitz and the world bank
"World Bank or US Bank" was a nice article. But it's underlying assumption is that the World Bank is a worthwhile organization when, in fact, it has contributed annually to the impoverishment of nation after nation. I say scrap it. I say let the Wolfman take the lead and then nobody use its services. There are other ways. As the Globalization process is a neo-con surfeit, why not die it? Besides, very few countries have the guts to stand up for what they believe. So what's the difference? Bunch of patsies, if you ask me: governments. Truly, this is a chance to not vote for someone: if no one votes for Wolfowitz, the World Bank is without a head. (Please take the pun from there.)

The World Bank's leader and director board should be elected by voters of the member-nations of the WB, in my view.
