The Selimiye Mosque, in Edirne, a city in northwest Turkey, is a magnificent stone edifice, with four minarets and an austere, octagonal-shaped body supporting a large dome. Built for Sultan Selim II in the sixteenth century, it has withstood numerous earthquakes and can accommodate more than five thousand kneeling worshippers. "One evening at the end of January," said John Cassidy, "I visited the mosque with Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank, and a half-dozen of his aides and colleagues." Two years have passed since President Bush nominated Wolfowitz, the former deputy secretary of defense and one of the architects of the war in Iraq, to head the sprawling multinational lending institution that has as its official goal "a world without poverty."
