Is there any doubt that Bush and his administration are driven by ideology, even at the expense of reality and the good of the country? Nominating Paul Wolfowitz as president of the World Bank solidifies it. Read Michael Lind’s piece at Salon.com: Mr. Magoo goes to the World Bank.
Critics are wrong to portray Wolfowitz as a malevolent genius. In fact, he’s friendly, soft-spoken, well meaning and thoughtful. He would be the model of a scholar and a statesman but for one fact: He is completely inept. His three-decade career in U.S. foreign policy can be summed up by the term that President Bush coined to describe the war in Iraq that Wolfowitz promoted and helped to oversee: a “catastrophic success.”
