[WS:] It is interesting to see what people say about his 'resignation.' Watching such forums can offer interesting insights into public sentiments of the literati class worldwide. http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?sortBy=1&threadID=6364&start=0&t start=0&edition=2&ttl=20070518143537&#paginator

Wolf is almost unanimously condemned (save a few right wing trolls) - the prevailing tenor is that he should have been sacked instead of being allowed to 'resign.' Quite a number of posters mentioned Wolf's role as the main architect of the Iraq fiasco. Also the views inside and outside the US are perfectly aligned on this issue, no one from the US defended him, only a few British right wing trolls did.
