Cool! This is what I want to read here. I'm not the brightest when it comes to economics, but I need something snappy to say to the media when they ask me what I would propose as an alternative to _______. If we got rid of the World Bank, what sort of alternative should there be, if any?

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE
An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said, "I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us."
