Ban Ki Moon, next UN Secretary General

The front-runner to replace Kofi Annan is South Korea’s leftist Foreign Minister, Ban Ki-Moon, a man whose record embodies the very worst we’ve come to expect from the U.N.: passive-aggressive policies that appease evil and confront all efforts to define or enforce standards of civilized conduct.

This is the opinion of one of the leading US bloggers specialised in Korea: One Free Korea.

Today Mr Ban Ki-Moon has been chosen as next Secretary General by the UN Security Council. He only needs to be ratified by UN General Assembly.
