Like Liechtenstein.
"By treating the [World Bank presidency] as if it's an ambassadorship to Liechtenstein," the New York Times writes, "we fail to consider the most highly qualified candidates and too easily fall into the trap of using the bank as a tool of American policy." Of the US candidates, the NYT finds Garten credible, Clinton and Gates fanciful, and McPherson credible for a Republican. John Taylor would be "a very bad choice", as he's "globally unpopular for his eccentric policy views and poor leadership skills." His nomination would have a silver lining, the paper believes. The resultant furore would push the Bank into a better selection process for the future. David Steven ~ February 20, 2005
