Apparently John Bolton is going to be named as the new UN ambassador.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')S President George W Bush will announce today that he has
picked the outspoken US under secretary of state for arms control, John Bolton,
to be ambassador to the United Nations, government officials said.

"Expect it to be announced later today," one of the officials said on condition
of anonymity.

Hey I was going to post that. You beat me to Stu. Look for more turbulence in the near future. I think it is more than a coincidence that they put bolton in now.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')uring the July 2001 global U.N. conference on small arms and light weapons, Bolton told delegates that the United States was not only opposed to any agreement restricting civilian possession of small arms, it also didn't appreciate "the promotion of international advocacy activity by international or non-governmental organizations." Bolton 's delegation was accompanied by that distinguished American NGO the National Rifle Association. (7)

I have seen this rumor - that some would like to see former president Clinton replace Annan as the next head of the U.N. I have no clue as to whether there is even the smallest possibility of this happening. However, it provides wonderful fodder for the imagination - Bolton dealing with Clinton on the floor of the UN.

Reforming the UN the Bush way

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/GC09Aa01.html

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hereas the first administration of US President George W Bush grievously undermined the United Nations organizationally, through its manipulation of the Security Council in its anti-Iraq crusade, the second administration is now gearing up to go one step further and subvert the UN theoretically, by infusing its unilateralist doctrine of "preemptive" warfare as a legitimate principle of the world's pre-eminent organization.

This much is clear by the energy and zeal with which US diplomats at the UN are nowadays pushing for the adoption of proposals for UN reform by a select "high-level panel", including the hawkish former US national security adviser Brent Scowcroft; if adopted, these proposals will seriously undermine the spirit of multilateralism and collective war-prohibition enshrined in the UN Charter.
