#3 The United Nations Association can screw it's lefty org into the ground LOL. It's sack cloth and ashes for you.

The next UN Secretary General will not be Arab, Muslim or African. I would bet they will not come out of the EU region either.

#4 Every time I read about this bunch of criminal scumbags I wonder why we even allow them to exist on our shores. If they were Americans we'd prosecute the lot of them (except Bolton) under RICO. We need out of the UN yesterday and the sooner we extricate ourselves, the sooner this lot of klepto Third World bastards will slink away into well-deserved oblivion.

#9 I'd like the General Assembly do a 1880 style Convention and choose someone with televised voting. The enertainment value would be incredible. I figure our man in Libya would have a shot in these circumstances.

#10 Yeah, Havel... Good Choice, but does he want to get his hands covered in so much poop?

#14 What about that guy that founded solidarity in Poland? The name escapes me but I think he would be a good choice. I am assuming that we are all looking for someone way outside the un diplomatic circles. Haval would be good too just think that that guy deserves some considerations.

#15 Lech Walensa, IIRC. Good man, yes.

#16 Hmmm ... I'm not sure I agree Lech Walesa would be a good choice, Pappy. He was a good grassroots leader among his own labor groups in his own country, but seemed to me to be over his head as a national leader later.

Havel OTOH has broader and deeper skills - and the polish to do the diplo waltz with (and around) the various international bureaucrats.

#17 Lech Walesa, Nobel Peace Laureate 1983.

#18 I know, Sea - and he deserved it.

But he turned out to have a lot of difficulty making the transition from an inspirational movement leader to an effective executive. The Poles voted him out of office after 5 years because of it, and despite his being loved by many still.

#19 What about General Honare? He is a problem solver, and he was instrumental in pointing out that the MSM was Stuck on Stupid. Just a thought. Put his hat in the ring.
