Stinkle,

You and N8 seem to have a firm grasp on the effect the World Bank has developing and third world countries. So when the traditional economies of these nations is no longer susutainable and they left to producing our consumer goods, displacing the last few manfacturing jobs here in America, what will our workers do for a living? Further more, do you think Wolfie babie will encourage more or less debt forgiveness to the third/developing nations? Other than just having a hard-on for Wolfie, what is the most compelling attribute about the man that leads you to belive he would do a good job running the world bank?

seeing that most 3rd world countries are currently run by the most vile, corrupt, autocratic, misanthropic, kleptocratic, despots (point of fact, not opinion), wolfie won't be as ham-handed about flingin' the bling. there might actually start to be some accountability. remember, this is just part of bush's political capital being spent.

what the 3rd world desperately needs, but doesn't (yet) get, is clean government, clean drinking water, roads, schools, childhood immunizations, the basics of investing in people.

even the normally anti-bush nyt sings praises for the appointment. the only folks in your corner are eric alterman & changleen, both making their usual stock-in-trade "arguments"

your back-filling of your a-priori position is at its most transparent today - somebody switch your coffee w/ darjeeling blend?

Damn, is it that obvious I quit coffee...

You obviously know that not all third world leaders are bad.

My position, just for the record, is the World Bank should continue to explore some of it's deals that have failed. They are lending the money to provide a means for a nation to provide infra-strucure. Is this goal being met? If not, why?

He may do a good job on future loans, it is the ones that have basicly failed that need to be addressed.

So I ask again, how is Wolfowitz the best man for the job?

i won't dismiss debt forgiveness, as long as it goes with regime change. kinda like a ward churchill buyout.

a cursory look at his qualifications, found a ringing endorsement by the current world bank head, James Wolfensohn:
"He is a person of high intellect, integrity, and broad experience both in the public and private sectors, and has qualifications that would be critical to leading the bank group."

another necessary skill in this position is diplomacy, which he sharpened as a diplomat to indonesia. as we may agree, the carrot cannot always work effectively, or in a timely matter, so one who is good with the stick might be well suited for the position.

looks like wolfie is qualified from these two aspects, and more so when compared to carly (forgive my bias, i'm an HP shareholder). there probably exist more qualified applicants, but i am unaware as to who is significantly more qualified. however, given the timeline for consideration, i believe bush is using the short - even exclusive - list.

honestly i´d have to say that in my opinion, perseption and experience...
a sustained development in the 3rd world is very unlikely..
lately i´ve been wondering about the long term ability of some 3rd world countries to survive...

most likely, the 3rd world will become a place where investment bankers can dump their not-allocated or excess money, to charge high % interests, and have the 1st world governments to secure and enforce their returns...
while the 3rd world continuous to use this loans to balance the budgets, and more loans to pay due loans, and social programs... so the country doesnt collapse like it would otherwise.
like a pyramid....

that is unless, there is some sort of educational revolution in the 3rd world in which the people realize that social expenditure (no matter how important to survive) is just placing them deeper in the hole, and is just pushing the due date to future generations...
