SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; RUSSIA NUCLEAR SUPER-MISSILE; ROBERT 
ZOELLICK APPOINTED NEW WB HEAD; CIS ON ARGENTINA; 05/30/07 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Key international stories today include the test of a Russian 
nuclear missile; the appointment of Robert Zoellick as the new head 
of the World Bank; and the implications of the USG Consular 
Information Sheet on Argentina. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "Nostalgia" 
 
Claudio Mario Aliscioni, columnist of leading "Clarin," writes 
(05/30) "The Russian missile test is not only the timely 
implementation of a strategy. It should also be understood as 
evidence of that other intangible entity called nostalgia. Obviously 
enough, Vladimir Putin's decision is intended to set a limit on the 
US, which is always willing to remove power from (Russia). However, 
it is also a gesture toward Russia's interior, which is still 
stirred by nationalistic dreams and the ghost of a huge empire that 
no longer exists. 
 
"While Russia owns huge natural resources, its GDP lowered to 
position 15 on the global ranking, it has high corruption and its 
technology is outdated in many areas... Nostalgia for the past 
serves then to cover the holes of the present." 
 
- "Another man of Bush is appointed to lead the World Bank" 
 
Leonardo Mindez, on special assignment in Washington for leading 
"Clarin," penned (05/30) "Those who expected that the downfall of 
Paul Wolfowitz could lead to a more democratic approach to 
appointing the new head of the World Bank must be disappointed. The 
White House preferred again to appoint a man from its own entourage 
- former USTR and Assistant Secretary of State Robert Zoellick. 
 
"... In 1998, he signed a letter along with Wolfowitz in which a 
group of neo-conservative intellectuals asked Clinton to remove 
Saddam Hussein in Iraq. 
 
"Shortly afterwards, he acted as a consultant in foreign policy for 
Bush junior's election campaign, during which he devised the 'evil' 
notion to refer to US enemies... However, in contrast to the 
outgoing WB head, Zoellick had no direct influence on the current 
USG's military policy. 
 
"Instead, as USTR between 2001 and 2005, he was the main promoter of 
China's entry into the WTO and the FTAA, and he negotiated the FTAs 
signed with Chile, Singapore, Australia, Morocco, El Salvador, 
Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and 
Bahrain. 
 
"... Today, the White House will formally announce its candidate, 
trusting that he will be confirmed by the WB Board. Zoellick will be 
the one in charge of recovering confidence in a damaged institution, 
which Wolfowitz, his old friend, will leave on June 30." 
 
- "Wolfowitz's fatal mistake" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacion" carries an op-ed piece by contributor 
Mario del Carril, who writes (05/30) "In an unprecedented measure, 
the most important European countries made Paul Wolfowitz, head of 
the WB, resign because he had infringed on the institution's 
rules... Therefore, they made him resign to protect the institution 
from corruption... 
 
"... Wolfowitz could have saved his position had he immediately 
apologized and offered his resignation. 
 
"Knowing the WB and the fact that its member-countries rarely want 
to oppose the USG (which bluntly defended Wolfowitz), those gestures 
would have created a framework of good will, and his resignation 
would not have been accepted. 
 
"... Nonetheless, Wolfowitz did not apologize... His fatal mistake 
is that he believed he was involved in a typical Washingtonian 
scandal that his critics were Democrats and that Bush would be the 
one who would decide. On the contrary, he was involved in a scandal 
in 180 capital cities, and many were in charge of making decisions. 
In other words, he was in a multinational institution he was not 
able to handle and this is why he was 'fired.'" 
 
- "Prevented tourists" 
 
An editorial in daily-of-record "La Nacion" reads (05/30) "Every 
year, the US updates its consular report addressed to US citizens 
traveling to different countries including Argentina... The latest 
US report has not been benevolent to Argentina. 
 
 
"The Consular Information Sheet is a report called for by the US 
law... 
 
"Regardless of the dislike the US consular report must have caused 
in Argentine authorities, it only describes the dangers to which the 
inhabitants of our country are daily exposed in the main Argentine 
cities and which are widely reported by the mass media... 
 
"... While Argentine authorities have said that the report issued by 
the US consular office are 'continued characterizations that do not 
correspond to reality' and that unleash unjustified alarm, the way 
to solve the situations that could jeopardize tourism of any origin, 
whether foreign or domestic, is not denying or downplaying them. On 
the contrary, solutions will be obtained if one starts by accepting 
that problems do effectively exist and that they should be faced 
with a steady and serious attitude."
