Top 10 Reasons Why Paul Wolfowitz Would Make a Good World Bank President

1. He would follow in the great tradition of World Bank president Robert McNamara, who also helped kill tens of thousands of people in a poor country most Americans couldn't find on a map before getting the job.

...10. He can develop a pre-emptive poverty doctrine where the World Bank could invade countries that fail to make themselves safe for U.S. business, modeled on the U.S. pre-emptive war doctrine he helped craft.

Actually, this is already done. Just as we use our military to kill by martial violence the Third World poor, we use the World Bank to kill them by economic violence (aka neoliberalism).
