I wonder if France has offered the Secretary-Generals job to Saddam? When is Annan's term up?

Don't forget the UN once had Waldheim, an unapologetic Nazi, as its Secretary General. That says it all.

IIRC, W renominated him shortly after his inauguration. I don't know how long the terms are but I'm guessing 4 years. Way too long in my opinion. I CANNOT stand to listen to him on TV.

The other thing that really gets me on this Iraq business is where in the h*ll are the human rights people? They are complaining about prisoners in Guantanomo (sp?) and yet they give Iraq and all these despotic regimes a pass. I'm becoming weary of any international organization. There only common interest appears to be vehemence towards the USA.
