Financial Times
Med alla caveats gällande webbundersökningar, Financial Times har en undersökning om vad man tycker om Wolfowitz som president. ”Is Wolfowitz the right man for the job?”, just nu säger 82% nej.
FT gillar inte Wolfowitz nominering, A poor choice for the World Bank:
Mr Wolfowitz is far from the outstanding candidate that the world needs. That he has no financial experience is relatively unimportant. More significant is his lack of experience in the complexities of development.
Yet his biggest drawbacks lie elsewhere. Mr Wolfowitz’s comments on the likely costs of the Iraq war and prospective popularity of the invading forces in Iraq put his judgment in question. But, above all, the world would view a bank directed by Mr Wolfowitz as no more than an instrument of US power and US priorities. Every piece of advice the bank gave and condition it set would be made illegitimate, in the eyes of recipients, by the perception that it served the interests of the world’s ”sole superpower”. The impact on the bank’s legitimacy would be hugely damaging.
