We won the election.  I think it's time we put someone competent and respected in the UN embassador post?

I like the guy they have

I hadn't thought about this suggestion before. I think it does leave us in a position to monitor them but stay on their good side, which is key. We don't need to make the situation worse, for sure. Do you think Iran would be open to that? If they weren't, is that sign to the UN that their intentions are malicious?

Given the history of scandals within the bureaucratically bloated and inept U.N., I don't understand how ANYONE could trust the direction of these 'peace missions' to a corrupt individual like Kofi Annan?\n\nThe U.N. needs to be COMPLETELY OVERHAULED, or DISSOLVED.  Until any of those things happens, I suggest that the U.S. and its allies take a a long and scenic detour off of the U.N. 'Pretentiousness Highway'...

I don't know, I think we need someone dumber and more incompetent than the last president so that history will see Bush as being a good president. \n\nMaybe we can get Dan Quale to run.

We don't need to worry much about the current administration allowing the UN taking over.  \nWhat is very worrisome is some dishonest, unAmerican nutcase like Hellary appointing Bill king of the UN, subverting the US constitution and allowing the UN to take over.  \nTheir first step in destroying our constitution is to start with the 2nd amendment.\nMy 9 must have been stolen, I don't have any idea where it is.

Not yet ,  Mr.Sashi Tharoor is India's official candidate for United Nations General Secretary Elections to be held in a few months from now ! He is at the moment working as under-secretary for Communications and public affairs at the U.N headquaters . It is believed that he is the best and the strongest candidate on the list . May the best man win !!!

Yeah, I was happy when Goss was selected for the job because I felt he was a trustworthy person.  Now that he's been ousted, I'm more concerned than i was before.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the UN to help with anything, especially in the human-rights department.\n\nThis is the same organization that, just a day or two ago, voted down an amendment that would have called on Cuba to curb its human rights abuses.\n\nThis happened on the same day that the UN passed a resolution calling on the U.S. to end its Cuba embargo.\n\nThat's the UN for you -- silence with regard to Castro's human-rights atrocities, while lecturing us to do business with that bastard.\n\nSo, since the UN is so wimpy with regard to Castro, there's no reason to believe they can do much of anything about Nigeria or anything else in the human-rights arena.\n\n.

I think that it's about time that we have another president that's not a middle aged caucasian with a full pocket.\nIt might change the way we view the world and what we do in it.

Granted Rumsfeld is on the way out, but will Gates be any better? We can only hope.. I would like to see someone in that position that has some upper level tactical military experience instead of a CIA crone of the Bush family. Keep your fingers crossed !

I feel that he is trying his best for all the chaos that he is facing since begining of his presidency. We should support him, anyway he won the election that means most American chose him to run this country. I am not Bush supporter but I believe that we should support whoever run our country at this moment.

I wish.  He wasn't elected, he was selected by forces beyond our control

This time, I don't care if the U.S. has to, metaphorically, take the UN by the scruff of the neck and smash their smug, self-righteous faces into the conference table.  I don't care if we have to berate and belittle them.  The UN is making itself IRRELEVANT.  It never does anything but talk.\n\nAnother person just wrote about the killings and starvation deaths in Rwanda and the Sudan, tacitly approved by the UN through their inaction.  We need a public relations campaign to improve the image of the U.S., and to expose the UN for the frauds they are.

I think he's the type of leader we should see more often nowadays. Say what you want about his policies, at least he has the balls to stick to his guns no matter how much the rest of the world whines.

When we get a real president that knows how to run this country.

No, we sent whats his name to reform the un to do our bidding.\n\nThere will not be peace on earth until all humans are eliminated because good and evil are only concepts of humans.

anyone is better then who we have now... Hilary has already made a fool of herself. Refusing to talk to immigrants until being notified they have votes wasn't a smart move by any means...
