New UN Secretary General
I'm not expectin Kofi to resign despite his son's involvement in the food for oil scandal.

However, it has set me thinking about his succesion. It's about time North America headed it up and no-one from the States has a prayer. If the polls look bad in 2007 it might be a good idea to have a fall-back position. 'One of Canada's greatest Prime Minister's chosen to head World Community'

You may have noticed a recent sequence in Secretary-General's names Boutros-Boutros, Ann-An. If only my father had had the foresight to name me Martin I would have been a shoo-in - but then he never saw what was coming until it hit him
