#5 Mr. Annan has aquired his depression the hard way: he earned it. He actively led the U.N. to the point where destruction is about the only option left. The values and behaviours his son learnt at his feet have likely permanently destroyed the lad's career and reputation. I'm afraid I cannot sympathize, and I don't think the farmer's apology to the pigs will make everything all right this time.

#6 Rummy for SecGen and Bolton for US ambassador. Now that's a great ticket!

I'd say Cheney, but he needs to run in 2008.

#7 Nah! This job calls for a specialist. I nominate "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap. As he proved at Sunbeam, he can cook the books just like the best of 'em in the U.N. and still manage to drive the whole thing into the ground.

#8 I believe it is Asia's turn next. Alexander Downer the Australian Foreign Minister has been mentioned in the past as the next UN SG. If you think the UN is salvageable he would be a good choice - hard nosed and tells it like it is.

#9 That'd be better than Rummy and equally reliable. But Kofi should have to sweaat it out till 2006.

#12 At the risk of repeating myself (from yesterday):

JUMP, YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!

#13 Barbara----Your statement is cruel, heartless, mean spirited..............and so delightfully on the mark.
