Stop egging them on!

Sir, on September 25 you tell us that “European critics inflict defeat on Wolfowitz” but reading it over and over again I cannot really fathom how you can even try to look for a victor in squabble where the only defeated will most ceartainly again be the poorest of the poor. We did not pick Wolfowitz, we might not like how he was picked, but the fact is that he was picked and given the extremely important real battles the World Bank has to fight out, it is now our responsibility to be as helpful as possible and call upon the discussant to reach workable agreements, instead of egging them on.
