BOLTON AND WOLFOWITZ

What will happen with the UN and the World Bank when Mr. Bolton and Mr. Wolfowitz have started their new jobs? Robert Tagorda of Outside the Beltway is commenting in his post, The Bush Nominations. Do you think that John Bolton will have chance to squeeze the Mullahs real hard as an ambassador to the United Nations? Could Paul Wolfowitz do something about the bureaucracy at the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development? Why should it exist a World Bank at all? Can't the private banks take care of the business? What do you think? Here are some reactions from the mainstream media:

• Crying Wolfowitz - Times.

• Bush appointments align with conservative agenda - Scripps Howard News Service.

• Wolfowitz nomination a shock for Europe - Financial Times.

• The Right Choice at the UN - FrontPage Magazine.
