Washington Post: Criticizing Leaders is Wrong
Dazan writes: "The Washington Post has an interesting op-ed piece on its website today, Mr. Wolfowitz and the Bank. The Post, a popular liberal paper, says that now that Paul Wolfowitz is heading the World Bank, 'People... should think carefully before they damage [the Bank] by attacking its new boss,' and that bringing up Wolfowitz's record is unhealthy. Of course it doesn't hurt for us all to watch what we say, expecially our newspapers. What does the Slashdot community think?"
Long Answer: Yes.

Car dealerships are appealing the decision.
Paul Wolfowitz, the guy who messed up Iraq, becoming the head of the World Bank? Good thing this is a April Fools joke.
....Oh crap...
> What does the Slashdot community think?
Well I can't claim to speak for the Slashdot community as most of them are currently busy in their basment fortresses constructing weapons of mass destruction to aim at the editors for todays piss poor "April Fools" edition. So I guess I'll have to speak for myself.
"Fuck off Wolfowitz you cunt"
After all you're an old man and Thoth will shortly be weighing your heart against a certain feather. It will be found wanting.
Sky subscribers are morons. They pay to be advertised at !
Oh, and don't forget: the World Bank is for us, too (speaking as a Westerner).
Dude, the World Bank isn't like a bank that nations use to keep a checking account and get free pens.
The World Bank is for fighting poverty in third world nations.
What's even more frightening is that the US got the EU to go along with the deal, despite Wolfowitz's horrible record.
...
Gotcha! April Fools! We only pretended to approve Wolfie!
signed, the EU
p.s. we still won't help with Iraq, at least until you stop exporting WMD
