The Economist, in an excellent article, An Outsider’s Fate, on the dismissal of Wolfowitz, reiterates the point that many people seem forget, that the real reason that Wolfowitz failed was that he was ineffective at his job. Commenting on the president’s attempts to change the culture of the bank:
“…a president cannot change those rhythms and routines until he has first mastered them”.
I go back to my posting, An open letter…. which attracted a fair amount of interest. It’s never about what it’s about… Christopher Hitchens, who wrote an article on Slate Sliming Wolfowitz, seems not to understand this.
