Fred Kaplan: Paul Wolfowitz might be a good choice to lead the world bank. I think he may well be a good choice too—I agree that Wolfowitz is deeply idealistic, and to the extent that he’s a hawk, he’s a hawk not because he believes has a high regard for the use of force. His interview with Sam Tannenhaus of Vanity Fair is worth reading. (One thing that Wolfowitz may have trouble with is the requirement that aid be provided “without regard to political or other non-economic influences or considerations”—democracies can’t be favoured.)
