Bill Clinton to replace Kofi?

Apparently that is what Bill O'Reilly is calling for, suggesting that Annan is incompetent and corrupt but that Bill Clinton would restore credibility and end the perception that the UN is an impotent debating society which lacks the ability and the backbone to enforce its resolutions and policies.

Aside from the obvious fact that Clinton would undoubtedly bring a new brand of corruption, scandal, and criminal behavior to the UN, I see one other major problem with the notion.

Should the next Secretary General of the United Nations come from America, it would be almost assured that the US government would neither revoke membership nor assert sovereignty as aggressively as we would otherwise, should an Asian be chosen to replace Kofi Annan whenever his regime of corruption and scandal comes to an end.

For that matter, suppose some scandal similar to the Oil for Food operation did occur under a Clinton-led UN. Would the Democrats in the US Congress stonewall an investigation, much the way Jamie Gorelick was hoisted upon us via the 9-11 commission?
