Wolfowitiz ferrets out corruption, shoves his ideals down the world’s throat (again)

by

Paul Wolfowitz, neoconservative intellectual and one of the main forces behind the Iraq War, has been running the show at the World Bank for more than a year. To his credit, his main policy is ferreting out corruption in third world countries, and he’s doing it by withholding loans to nations who won’t step up and get all honest-like. But his methodology, much like his “they’ll greet us with flowers and waving and..insurgenwha?” approach to Iraq, is running up against that pesky thing called “reality.” He’s also running into serious bureaucractic struggles, as the business-as-usual crowd at the World Bank wrestle with someone who, for better or for worse, wants to change things.

Warren Frey is a journalist, freelance writer, podcaster, video producer, and all-around media consultant currently based in Vancouver, Canada. His written work has appeared in such publications as Metro Vancouver, the Westender, Mac | Life and the Japan Times.
