Paul Wolfowitz will make an excellent director for the world bank. Despite the bad reputation neoconservatism has engendered in recent years, Wolfowitz, one would imagine will stress respect for property rights, transparency and local democracy in states in which the Bank will work. These classic liberalism tenets will do more to end the conditions the Bank seeks to eradicate. Those who blame Wolfowitz for poor decision making in US foreign policy deserve credit for being critical in his applications of his world view, however the Department of Defense is less of an ideal venue for the types of changes he would hope to effect than the Bank will be. Further, anyone familiar with Mr. Sach's track record in improving economic conditions in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union in the early 1990s would presumably be wary of his ability to criticize someone for such a post.
