Who Replaces the President of the World Bank

FT.com Editorial comment :

"The difference between statesmen and mere politicians lies, above all, in their sense of responsibility. George W. Bush has been given an opportunity to demonstrate that virtue in his nomination of a new president of the World Bank. His instincts will be to nominate an American mediocrity. But his interests lie in nominating a person who is neither mediocre nor American. Such a candidate exists: he is Ernesto Zedillo, Mexico's former president."
