First, if you're living in the developing world, you're probably shitting your pants over Wolfowitz's nomination for head of the World Bank. On the other hand, given what Woofie's policy influence has done to our military and our economy, his tenure at the WB ought to put a stake through its heart. Since the WB acts primarily as a frontman for U.S. colonial policy to engineer the financial enslavement of developing economies to international debt so that public entities can be raped by US-friendly business (as in attempted takeovers of public water systems, telecom companies, and so on), there are many who might view Wolfowitz as exactly the incompetent it needs.
Still, if you're living in Burkina Faso or Peru, the dark shadow of King Paul is falling over your future. With Iraq as the lead entry on his resume, it doesn't look good for anyone he claims to want to help.
