Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
A lead architect of the Iraq war, he believed shock and awe would transform the Middle East. But his policies failed -- along with his tenure at the World Bank.
  • Beavis and Butthead

    I read the article and all the letters. I only found one letter (RealName) that mentioned something that I have also observed regarding the commentary about the Wolfowitz “scandal”.

    It is telling that these topics are not addressed;

    Where is an explanation of the World Bank? Its purpose? A measure of its success, or lack thereof?

    Where is a discussion of Wolfowitz’s goals with regard to the World Bank? How successful (or not) has he been in achieving them? How about some specific examples?

    Instead we get a bunch of gossip and psycho-babble.

    Plus a few references to historical literary and political figures.

    I keep reading Salon, looking for suggestions on how institutions like the World Bank should be run. How the neo-con haters would do things better.

    I find nothing.

    This column sounds like something Beavis and Butthead might say, . . . after they’ve had some expensive schooling.
