#1 mend fences with the international community

Sure, this is crap from the Grauniad, but it accurately reflects the perception of this particular Bush debacle. What the hell was the real story here? Why would Wolfie step down when the facts that were known exonerated him of any wrongdoing?

This little lynching is actually among the administration's worst failures.

Anyone think Zoellick (sort of standard-issue Beltway Bush family errand boy, from the looks of him over the years) will do anything of significance at the Bank? Didn't think so.
