As you already know, Bush has nominated Paul D. Wolfowitz, who the Washington Post describes "as the neoconservative hawk best known as the brains behind the war in Iraq" to head the World Bank.
What you may have forgotten is that Robert MacNamara, the architect of the war against Vietnam, after he left his job as Secretary of Defense, went on to occupy the position of World Bank president.
Marx (Karl, not Groucho) wrote that "...all great incidents and individuals of world history occur, as it were, twice. ...the first time As tragedy, the second as farce."
