EXACTLY TWO YEARS AGO, at a cocktail party, a staff member of the World Bank told me: “I think he is a murderer.” “He” was Paul Wolfowitz, then just a week away from taking the helm at the world’s biggest development agency. Many at the Bank thought the same way as my friend, who said some of his colleagues had hung from their office doors newspaper articles calling for the trial of Paul Wolfowitz as a “war criminal.”

Now, Wolfowitz is gone, and the bureaucracy is safe again. It has been a perfect coup.
