Good to see Edward Mortimer the former Director of Communications in the Executive Office of the United Nations Secretary-General join the push for British PM Tony Blair to be named new World Bank President.
Mortimer notes:
“by making this imaginative proposal, Mr Bush would do something to redeem his own international reputation and take the wind from the sails of his European critics. He would be breaking with a bad tradition, according to which leading international officials are chosen for their nationality”.
As I said last week , replacing Wolfowitz with Blair would be a very smart move for President Bush to make.
