KOFI OUT, HAVEL IN - TIME FOR A KOFI BREAK
It's an idea whose time has come, says InstaPundit

Thanks to InstaPundit for speaking out about the U.N. and saying:

"Kofi out, Havel in. It's an idea whose time has come."

See the HAVEL-FOR-SECRETARY-GENERAL bumper stickers.



And a related post here.

The juggernaut is rolling!

KOFI UPDATE: Don't you love the title of InstaPundit's column in today's Wall Street Journal? I do.

Top blogger Glenn Reynolds deserves applause for having the guts to speak out about the U.N. and promoting the idea of replacing Kofi Annan with Vaclav Havel. It's such a milestone of an essay, I've copied it at Sudan Watch incase the link gets broken.

KOFI UPDATE AT INSTAPUNDIT: American writer William Safire says: "This marks the end of the beginning of the scandal. Its end will not begin until Kofi Annan, even if personally innocent, resigns - having, through initial ineptitude and final obstructionism, brought dishonor on the Secretariat of the United Nations."

Yay for William Safire.

UPDATE - what bloggers are saying - this list will be ongoing and added to - please let me know if you post on the U.N. and I will link to you. Thanks.

A rant about Kofi Annan by Blimpish on October 17, 2004. In a comment here today, Blimpish says: "Chrenkoff reckons Polish President Kwasniewski would be a better bet, and I think I agree. Much though Havel is one of my heroes, he's not enough of a pol to make it work."
