Subject: RE: BS: Wolfowitz Resigns from World Bank
I ASKED YOU NOT TO TELL ME that.

What a terrible decision if that comes to pass. I am still pissed with the World Bank for allowing Rwanda to retain its membership. This is further compounded with the US having so much say in the appointment of the WB President. I am aware the US is the largest contributor, but the organization is not supposed to be about helping some damned 'suit' become richer and in the process making his cronies richer. The organization was never meant to be an extension of someone's business interests. (Conversely, maybe that always WAS the intention!) I am trying to find the list of the 350 people and organizations that have been banned from participating in projects the WB gets involved in. I think that would make interesting reading. If anyone else is interested, and finds it, could you please post a link to it here? Thank you.
