#1 Even as the Islamic Regime of Iran accelerated the number of arrests, tortures, and death sentences it carried out, on May 29, the World Bank awarded it with two loans totaling $369 million. As justification for granting the loans, the World Bank claims they were awarded to help the people of Iran. "In many countries we have enfranchised civil societies," the Bank's president, James D. Wolfensohn said at a luncheon. "Should we stop doing that and wait until we had perfect countries before we lend?"
What the World Bank should be doing is not giving hundreds of millions of dollars to a violent terrorist regime that is scrambling to build a nuclear bomb, even while they let their citizens perish in disaster after disaster for want of timely aid and assistance. |
