Tehran -- Though it is difficult to envisage a FIFA-colored bulldozer forcing regime change at the UN, some parts of the organization could certainly benefit by adopting FIFA's principles, transparency and common vision, and the Beautiful Game's rules of fair play.
Tehran, Iran - The cessation of hostilities is a chance for the world to ask a fundamental question: Can all regional issues be framed within a completely new structure? Can we end sham-bolic band-aid therapy?
Tehran, Iran - It's difficult to say what candidate Washington should back. Its whims are nearly impossible to forecast. But it is clear that it's Asia's turn at the helm.
Nevertheless, in order to try to see the UN candidates through Washington's eyes, I will first selectively skew common interpretations of treaties and international conventions like the Geneva Convention, the Law of the Sea, the Convention on International Sale of Goods and the Non-Proliferation Treaty. I'll also junk the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Protocol. I won't touch the Security Council, however; that's far too radioactive for me! I'll also attempt to color-code UN candidates to appease the Department Homeland Security.
Tehran, Iran
Dear Mr. Secretary General;
Congratulations on your election to a difficult, complex job. It will take you to far corners of our planet looking at politics, security, development, clean water, education and financial markets. You will have to help define the international treaties used across the global village.
You may find it useful to study what seems to me to be a clone of the United Nations called Microsoft Windows.
