I thought this was all about a girlfriend, illicit affair and promotion or was that the straw that broke the camel's back?

You may be correct. If it wasn't this then it perhaps could have been about the mediocrity the world cannot just afford. If you then garnish that with political leaders running these global institutions, we get a power Map that makes no sense. Less amazing work in narrow ranges.

I dont think Blair should even contemplate it.
psh!

"... World Bank, which is tasked with development interventions around the developing world in the name of good governance and democracy,..."

Now all I need for a good laugh is for someone to say that to me with conviction and a straight face ... :)

My final year dissertation was on Reform of the UN Security Council and outcome of implementing such reforms. What I've learnt from my dissertation is that international institutions are EXTREMELY difficult to reform(and the UN is the worst of them all!). I agree that the World Bank needs reform. However, that mighty, albeit extremely unjust, institution was built (almost literally) by the US, just like the UN. And as long as the US continues to be a hegemonic power, it will continue to act unilaterally in the affairs of these institutions. It is nothing but cocktail of realpolitiks and national interest, garnished with a little abit of bloody capitalism!

Abt Wolfowitz, there is more to it than meets the eye and believe me, he is not leaving solely for the special treatmet of his girlfriend in the throes of passion. He messed with the wrong person and he was blackmailed, just like other important figures that I've refused to name.
