Hmmm. I am glad he didn't think that during World War 2, or we could be jaw-jawing in German right now.

Because if anything happens that someone (usually the Americans) doesn't like (such as condemning Israel for Human Rights abuses) the Yanks veto it.

Which is much worse than France threatening to veto any second resolution regardless of what it says?
There is a big difference between vocally condeming someone, and removing a tyrannical dictator and his sons, who used to torture people for fun.

That's funny coming from you. Whenever anyone asks you what you'll do in a situation, you just say its not you job to fix things, only criticise.
I'll quite happily become UNSG if they'd let me. $350k a year, plus free palatial manson, top notch security, and more freebies than I could list. I couldn't be any worse than Annan anyway. If I did at least one half-decent thing for the UN, I would have done more than Annan ever has. If I just wanted to follow Annan's lead, I could just do a few speeches, that someone else wrote for me, and the odd press conference/interview. Doesn't sound like a bad old life to me.
