World Bank Vows a Big Loan to Iran

Submitted by James, Nov 6, 2007 01:31

1. Loans that propped up the soviet Union 20 years befor it's collapse.
2. Loans to Communist China that was used to arm geurillas for Vietnam
3. Loaning money to Iran, after the west sanctioned them, putting the final nail in the coffin of the chance of ahmadinajad's re-election since his approval ratings dropped to near Bush levels, they risk reversing ALL THAT by giving an UNSECURED loan to this douche, keeping him in power and risking a war that he might cause by keeping him in power.

Why aren't these people bankrupt yet? The sooner they go bankrupt the sooner they can stop hurting the world. This bank needs new management to make profit, end poverty, stop genocides, and NOT screw up peace processes, encourage wars, and fund genocides.

This is the most irresponsible thing the world bank has done in this decade.
