not from the UN, it's a powerless body. A number of characters arrive before that fiend anyway, still a ways to go.

Correct on #1 Which is why I like the UN in it's present form: Corrupt, cumbersome and ineffective. It's not something I fear. However were it to collapse, I think I'd be very concerned by the organization that replaced it and the man who leads it.

As to your second assertion, sorry I disagree. There is nothing left to do, no prophesy left to fulfill before the Rapture of the Church and the dawn of the Tribulation leading to the final seven years of this age.

I was instantly worried when FNC referred to him as "Mr. Sunshine" back when it was announced he would be the next top UN guy. I hope my concerns go unfounded.

To what authority does a UN Secretary General pledge?

So I assume Kofi no longer enjoys diplomatic immunity. Welcome to the real world you piece of sh*t!

If Bolton backed Moon, that's a good sign. Bolton said that he preferred more "secretary" than "general". The UN is in decline; Whoever follows Moon will have even less influence.

Agreed. Don't expect systemic change from the guy, though - even with the best of intentions the UN is fatally corrupt. Him I'll give the benefit of the doubt, his organization, no.

I'm still ticked about our Democrats banning Bolton. I think he's been one of our most courageous diplomats to date.

I hope that having him in the Secretary Generalship forces a showdown with Kim Jong-Il.

BFD...They should still turn the building into a homeless shelter and move the "diplomats" to some deserted island off the coast of Northern Africa. Let them try and get dinner reservations at our governments expense and park their camels in a terror zone and not be ticketed!!
