Isn't it Ironic?

Yes I really do think.

The hot topic of the World Bank and the IMF is corruption in development countries, and dissolving it is currently a conditionality for them to receive financing from the West. How ironic that Mr. Wolfowitz is now apparently corrupt himself. To think that his arrogance was at the least ethnocentric, (which is a human flaw we are all guilty of, I'm afraid), but it was hypocritical at best!

Secondly, Wolfowitz is one of the orchestrators of the war in Iraq, which is supposedly implementing 'democracy'. How can anyone legitimately impose something that they cannot give a good example of themselves? Wolfowitz' practices have been far from democratic, especially considering they occurred during his 'rookie' days, it seems these kinds of practices were previously institutionalized at the Bank. It's really these kind of 'turn-a-blind-eye' attitudes that make me sick when it is coming from an institution that is demanding 'good governance' and 'transparency' from those that are financially dependent on their 'generosity'. It seems that the more power and money are consolidated, the less democracy and transparency there is. And who foots the bill? The little guy. The environment. The animals.
