actually the World Bank itself has nothing to do with it.
the post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12640-2005Mar6.html?nav=rss_opinion/opeds) is saying that basically the appointment to head it usually comes straight from the White House (who never has a clue in any administration of what to do with it), mostly because...well...i don't know (it didn't say), but for some reason the Europeans rarely organize around an alternative candidate, so the appointed American leads it every time.
so its as clear as mud, no?
i'd say no wonder they protest in the streets of DC every september, except i'm pretty sure those kids out there really have no idea what they're protesting, specifically.
