And You Thought They Were Protesting Before.

It sounds like Wolfie is going to bethe next head of the World Bank. Frankly, I am of two mind on this one. Yes, he is the same hawkish neo-con who fed us lies to prevent our citizen army from getting lazy and has led to the deaths of over a thousand Americans. Yes, I believe that is a bad thing. But I have this strange feeling that Wolfie might be just the firebrand that the World Bank needs to make a serious impact on world poverty. Call it a strange hunch. (And look to the odd precedent set by Secretary of War Robert "Bomb the shit out of Southeast Asia" McNamara)

I also could be completely wrong, and Wolfie could turn the World Bank into the next colonial power, a la the British East India Company.
