The Succession Race for U.N. General Secretary has begun, in case that sort of thing interests you. South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki Moon, a key salesman for appeasing the North, wants the job, but this WaPo piece also notes that any of the five permanent members of the Security Council could block him, which I certainly hope we would. Asia think it’s its turn; John Bolton doesn’t agree.

Update: I could support this candidate, although that’s probably too good to be true. And Vaclav Havel,who has stated a public position on human rights in North Korea, might actually have a chance.
