I have great respect for Mr. McNamara. I believe that the speech that he gave when he was leaving the World Bank was one that should have been adhered to. But it wasn't. Member nations went on with "business as usual", however, the tables have started to turn.
"The South shall rise again"!
RIP Bob.
