OK, I know I risk being flamed into oblivion, but am I the only one who sees at least SOME value to having a former US president running the UN? Sure he's on the nominal "other side" of the partisan divide, but in the larger picture he's an American, and more likely to be pro-US in his administration.+ No? I think it's for this very reason that he will never ever become Sec. General anyway.
Clinton is pro-Clinton and could care less for America.
I'm not going to flame you, but what you're not understanding here is that ANY U.N. Secretary General is going to look after THEIR OWN BEST INTEREST, not that of the country they hail from, not that of the country or countries who support their election to the position of UNSG, and as we have seen already, once a Secretary General is in place, it is damn hard to hold them accountable, just look at Kofi Anus' zigging and zagging to evade this Oil-For-Fraud scandal, just to name ONE abuse of power.
As for Bill Clinton being 'pro-US'? Don't kid yourself my friend, Bill Clinton is only one 'pro', and that is 'pro-Clinton', and the only OTHER 'pro' he lives by is the 'quid pro quo', as in if you scratch his back, he'll scratch yours. His years of corruption as the Governor of Arkansas is testament enough to prove him totally unsuitable for any leadership position except perhaps for a prison prayer circle. The fact that Clinton was elected twice only demonstrates that the Republican Party was inept in '92, and totally brain dead in '96. And even with such GOP incompetence in those elections, it took the efforts of the Texas Madman Ross Perot and his puerile Reform Party to sap off enough conservative votes to give Clinton the White House.
No, Bill Clinton as UNSG would be like the College of Cardinals electing John Gotti as Pope after the first Pope John Paul died.
Jesse Helms is a national treasure, and when we lose him, it will be like Ronald Reagan dying all over again. Helms is a patriot in the finest tradition of conservative values.
God Bless Jesse!
Let's see, a supremely malignant narcissist who has no morals and desires power at all cost, no I do NOT see ANY value to having this evil man in any position of power.
No, they will not accept Clinton as the next Sec. Gen. simply because the UN prefers to select one from some third-world dysfunctional country. They'll choose another anti-American, corrupt Kofi Anan.
NO. Your premises are sooo wrong.
If Bubba hasn't already demonstrated his willingness to do exactly the wrong thing for America, what does he have to do?
Nevermind "flaming" you -- I'm thinkin' along firing up the rotisserie ;-)
