LOL: ANARCHISTS ENDORSE WOLFOWITZ FOR WORLD BANK PRESIDENT:

"At a time when the World Bank is enjoying an improved image as a so-called poverty reduction organization, Wolfowitz will help restore the Bank's image as an international purveyor of unrestricted capitalism and predatory imperialism. ... Paul Wolfowitz brings an incredible international development resume to the Bank. In his current stint as Assistant Secretary of Defense, Wolfowitz led American development efforts in Iraq. Under Wolfowitz's watch, Iraq moved from a country which had been bombed back to the Stone Age to a country that has been bombed back to the Bronze Age. Wolfowitz also led efforts to wean Iraqis from their dependency on an oil-based economy. Thanks to oil shortages and power blackouts, ordinary Iraqis are moving towards sustainable lifestyles similar to programs promoted by the World Bank. Wolfowitz also helped Iraq develop population control measures via an innovative exchange program with the American military-industrial complex."

The article is certainly right that having Wolfowitz in charge of the World Bank will galvanize opposition to it and ruin its reputation. The bank is already an extension of the American treasury department, so it probably won't hurt much - just cause lots of infighting between imperialist nations. Bush's nomination of Wolfowitz may well backfire.
