Wolfie Promises No Democracy Preaching
"If I am confirmed I will be an international civil servant. I will be president of a multilateral organization with 184 member nations," Wolfowitz said in the interview in Indonesia's leading English-language daily. Sure, you will be just like Kofi, not... Asked if he would use his position to promote democracy, Wolfowitz said: "I think people know what I think on that subject, but I think I'll be more effective if I concentrate on those things that lead to poverty reduction and economic development." Wolfowitz said while issues of corruption and governance were not easy to separate from democracy, he would focus on getting donors to be more generous, developed countries to open their markets and developing nations to tackle corruption. No I swear, I will naver say democracies are cool, not even once...it just wouldn't be very pc to impose our democratic freedoms on the rest of the world...really, it wouldn't Posted by: Ol_Dirty_American 2005-03-28 |
