#1 No problem. That much more justification for the U.S. quitting and sending the U.N. to France. sKerry can move to France and have the job after Mohammad.

#2 I think Khatami may be a little busy in the next few months trying to re-start his nuke program from the ruins.

Or, hopefully, trying to find his pieces-parts.

#3 I'm all for this. There is no better way on earth to ensure that the UN is forever unmasked as the diplomatic farce and featherbed jobsite that it is today. With Khatami at the helm, this institution's anti-Semitism could finally be formalized and their support for international terrorism made official.

Other than that, I agree with Barbara.

#4 Or, hopefully, trying to find his pieces-parts.

Islam is the Religion of Pieces, after all.

#5 Works for me. One fox in the chicken coop will eat all the chickens. No more chicken coop. A coop de something or other, so to speak.

#6 Until Iran, the originators of the modern Islamic terrorism movement is stopped dead cold, the counter-jihadists war in Iraq is sort of like, spraying a can or two of insect repellent in the deepest part of the Amazon, and then expecting to be bitten again.

#7 Ah no, I suggest Saddam. After all we have to compensate him for waging an "illegal" war against his country. He's available, the UN has his bank account numbers already.

Khatami could come in for the next term, after the "illegal" war against Iran... Well he could take El Baradei's job maybe in the meantime.

Zimbabwe Bob could take over as the Human Rights Commissioner although Sudan might have its own aspirations to that job.

#8 Khatami could come in for the next term, after the "illegal" war against Iran... Well he could take El Baradei's job maybe in the meantime.

And I have every confidence he would obtain the exact same results as El Baradei.

#9 In the name of efficiency, another vote for Saddam. Eliminate the middleman's 2.2%.

#10 The Persians are coming! The Persians are coming!

If Khatami becomes Secretary General, the post gives him an excuse to have a larger Iranian entourage around him. And this numerically-enhanced entourage should help him provide the folks back home with great video footage of significant American tourist attractions such as skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, nuclear power plants, oil refinery complexes and Federal office buildings. This should encourage small bands of Muslim tourists to visit America.

#11 And what would Khatami bring in his suitcase the first time he goes to NYC?

Would the triumvirate Annan, Blix, and ElBaradei stay away?

#12 I'm a BIG beleiver in the world wide targeted assasination of the enemies of the USA. If Khatami wants to come to NY City, I have no problem with that. He'd be eaiser to...uh...deal with... on a local level living in NY City then living in Tehran.

#15 I just can't get out of my mind, an image of Khatami
singing "The Scheme of Thais" at a karaoke venue at the UN.

#16 Although I expect the next SecGen to come from some innocuous third world garbage heap rather than a controversial state like Iran, India, or Zimbabwe, it would be fun to watch the fallout from a political nuke like this. Perhaps the US would tighten the purse strings and tell the UN that the lease just ran out on that prime Manhattan real estate. Close the NY headquarters, move the parasites to their offices in Geneva and let the Europeans subsidize them instead of us.
