Certainly agree on that. That's why the Pope meant so much to so many. But since there are only 5 seats, not either former President is able to take his/our former First Ladies either....

>>Wolfowitz to End World Bank Funding of Poor Nations by Scott Ott (2005-03-31) -- Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, headed for almost-certain approval as the new chief of the World Bank, said his first official move would be to withdraw funding to poor nations whose people suffer from a "low quality of life with little hope of recovery". "I look at some of these impoverished people and think, 'I wouldn't want to live that way'," said Mr. Wolfowitz. "The most merciful thing to do is cut their funding and let these people slip into a peaceful, euphoric state through dehydration and starvation." The new World Bank chief said he has the authority to deprive poor nations of food and water, since their leaders have been trying to do that for years. scrappleface.com
