Sarah Anderson, Foreign Policy in Focus. May 31, 2007.
The man who tried to equate resistance to corporate globalization with the terrorism of al Qaeda now takes over the World Bank following Paul Wolfowitz's scandal-ridden tenure.
Lindsay Beyerstein: The nomination of Robert Zoellick to replace Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank is yet another case of rewarding a Bush crony with a cushy position.
Add Wolfowitz to the rapidly growing list of Bush alums whose career trajectory suddenly plummets upon the disclosure of a pattern of lying obvious to most observers but not to the president himself.
It seems that the decadent cronyism and malignant imperial stance of the Bush administration have been extended to one of the world's leading international institutions.
