If the easy access to positions in the UN by nations unsuited for those respected spots is any indication, then the rise of Ban to SG should stand to the level of bland patronage we have come to expect of the UN. Here's to another term of nothing being done. I nominate Helms for SG. Pawi, don't feel bad just because South Korean culture has become institutionally suave at bribing its way to what it can't legitimately earn. I know it feels good to rest on racism when you can't otherwise argue effectively. Aside from the occasional expat you lovingly refer to, I'd say the rounding majority of world citizens and institutions have exhibited a stunning level of indifference towards Ban and even greater lack of concern over this part of the world where you so easily whither under the shroud of assumed racism. Grow some balls there Francis.

It's the UN itself that's a useless, corrupt organization. We'll have to see if he has the cojones to clean out the stable. Ban is about as good as any other career diplomat–he’ll be fine as UN head.

They once had a columnist so lefty-mad that once, while in Pakistan after 9/11 to 'feel their pain' and collect denunciations of his own country for his column, he was beaten close to death by a Muslim mob that formed around him in the street and then wrote from his hospital bed that he deserved it for his crime of being white and British. I know you share his feelings, on the white part at least, so perhaps an apology to your ideological brothers at the Guardian are in order. About the nomination: Does anyone else predict extensive Korean outrage and angst when the new Secretary-General begins receiving the usual insults and sneers from the American right? Secretary-General's have always been the favorite whipping boys of the American right, but I predict the national huff (here in Korea) when radio host A and minor Congressman B commence the insults will be great theatre for us all.
