Srikanth,

Yup, I read the WEF. Not surprising.

As far as money/business leading to better international relations I'm skeptical. It is a world economy. All of us are either buying or selling something to each other every minute of every day. MikeB may not be the biggest fan of the Muslim world, but he'll burn their oil/gas in his car. Arabs aren't big fans of the United States yet they'll come over on a regular basis just to shop. I haven't seen the business part of life transcend the cultural part yet. OPEC has to be disgusted by the US and limited allies involvment in the ME and they still sell us oil.

If I was really cynical I'd advance the idea business likes the upheaval in the world becuase it's good for business. There might actually be some limited truth to this type of an argument, but overall I don't believe this is the case.

Universal peace is an ideal that almost everyone agrees with, yet most people aren't willing to do anything about it. History has proven this over and over. For almost the entire history of this nation we've been fighting somebody or something. Whether it was the British, the Indians, the Mexicans, each other, the Spanish, the Germans, the Italians, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Chinese, the Vietnamese, the Cubans, the Soviets, the Iraqis, Afghan's, Taliban, Al Quaeda, Terrorism in general or something. We have to face the fact we are not a very peaceful people. We talk about it a lot, but our actions contradict our rhetoric. Invasions, occupations and the violence and destruction that follow have nothing in common with universal peace no matter what our esteemed leader says. With the exception of WWII and possibly our own revolution I'm hard pressed to understand any other conflict/war we've engaged in being justified.

Hence, I stand by my previous post which stated I have serious doubts it will matter who is selected Secretary General of the UN. If the United States can't or won't take a peaceful approach to the world around it and promote peace through the United Nations there is little to no chance of the UN making a meaningful difference in this regard. IN THIS CASE PEACE REALLY STARTS AT HOME.

"As a Jordanian, I do have a pertinent perspective. Jordan's prince Zeid bin Ra'ad may have an outside chance but he's well qualified, having earned his BA in Poli-Sci at Johns Hopkins and a PhD in history from Cambridge. He served as Jordan's deputy permanent representative before his current permanent representative post. As a UN chief, Prince Zeid would most likely put the Middle East crises on the global agenda. In this day and age, this is more than needed."

As a Moroccan I oppose the Jordanian candidate and I applaud the Qatari government for not voting for him. The Moroccan government unfortunately did vote for him.

I also condemn the Jordanian government response to Qatar's decision. Their response is typical (like their ally Bush) because they truely do not respect other people choices.

Isn't it enough that these princes live off of the people's wealth?

No the Prince.

Ban Ki-moon, the nominee of Seoul (South Korea), appears likely to become the next secretary-general of the United Nations. The travesty is that he represents a nation (i.e., South Korea) which despises non-Koreans. Yet, nearly all members of the United Nations have predominantly non-Korean populations.

http://theclearsky.blogspot.com/#115967192466858300

When Ban stands for a vote in the general assembly, the members should cast their votes against him.

If Seoul wants to salvage his candidacy for the post of secretary-general, then Seoul should immediately admit 300,000 Sudanese refugees into South Korea. Such an action would effectively declare that the Koreans shall cast away their racist bigotry against non-Korean.

Would the Koreans admit 300,000 Sudanese (i.e., non-Korean) refugees into Korea and put them on the track to becoming Korean citizens? Don't hold your breath.

GlobalMaven - Kourosh Ziabari, Iran, http://cyberfaith.blogspot.com :

All we know that the duration of Kufi Ananís presidency as the United Nations Secretary General will be ended within a few weeks and its about many days that the members of security council, started their deliberations and consultations to choose between the Asian candidates for this 5-year term.
Beside the political and diplomatic situations, UNSG has a continental ration and Asians are the shareholders of this turn.
Now the former Korean republic foreign affairs minister is called as the first chance of being the first Kufi Ananís successor, after the informal poll among 5 members of Security Council who will make the last decision about the entire post.
62 years old Korean Ban Ki Moon is taking from the Indian Shashi Tharoor lead and going ahead of him. Tharoor was the former vice-president of United Nations Secretary General in communication and public relations who is losing his last chances against the rivals. Although Ashraf Ghani as the former finance minister of Afghanistan owns the third place in the unofficial plebiscites and votes among Security Council members, but he is the most serious opponent of Korean Ban Ki Moon who is being supported by the US congress and American government, especially George W. Bush is protecting him personally and the politician theory-makers believe in his undoubted selection because of the congress pressures and it seems that the main competition would be launched between Korea Republic and recently freed Afghanistan.
But the world press has reported
