The New York Times > Washington > News Analysis: Wolfowitz Nod Follows Spread of Conservative Philosophy

Seems to me that's the only 'right' policy. The people and the economies need the help, not the despots, tyrants, corrupt leaders, et al.

"Mr. Sestanovich said that Mr. Wolfowitz would come to his new job "with a particular argument about what makes development work, and that is that democratization is part of modernization."

He added: "What has bothered people about the bank for the many decades it has existed is the concern that it has just fed the preoccupations and prejudices and bank accounts of corrupt elites in backward countries. And the Bush administration comes at that problem with a particular focus on governance, and even more narrowly on democracy, that is going to stir the place up.""
