In case you are curious about the World Bank and Paul Wolfowitz controversie, but do not know all the facts, I found a clip from the British Network that does a good job explaining the situation. Wolfowitz is being asked to step down after information sufaced that he gave his girlfriend an unapproved pay raise. he has refused to step down, but has offered an appology and asked for the sympathy and understanding of the international community. Wolfowitz was appointed by Bush and in case you did not know Wofowitz also served as deputy secretary of defense, he along with Donald Rumsfeild were the main designers of the Iraq war, which as you probably know has become a hot debate in the international community. Funny that the head of the world bank would not only be appointed by the US but also the job was given to someone who's loyalty to the war can not be questioned, since he is one of the main architects of the 2003 lead invasion. The clip explains why he is being asked to step down along with why he is refusing to do so.

I think Wolfowitz should go, he obviously lacks the integrity to head the World Bank.
I agree with Ed the Head of the World Bank needs to be someone of Integrity, and someone the entire world can trust and obviously wolfowitz is not that person!!
