There are those if the Baller offices who would consider this an outrage, but there is an office in which George W. Bush is well suited and would, in my eyes, be much more effective than we ever believed possible: secretary-General of the United Nations. Here's my take on the situation:
First, John Bolton is the right man for the job. Why, you may ask? Simple. If Congress approves his nomination, contrary to all logical thinking, the basis for an effective U.N. will be put in to place. All of Bolton's criticisms, however harse and, in the words of many UN supporters, unjustified, are really quite accurate from a historical perspective. Just take a look at Rwanda and Darfur, where genocide is and has been a tragedy of humanitarian assistance, or lack thereof. Kofi Annan is simply too bureaucratic to take immediate action and stop the killings. If this lack of action was one your resume, you wouldn't get very far in your job search. At JBGDCI, your resume wouldn't even get past the screening process (did I hear our computers laughing?). Victims do not benefit by meeting after useless meeting. What they need is action.
However, with this team, action they would get. With Bolton as representative of the U.S. to the United Nations, Bush is the perfect candidate for Secretary-General of the U.N.-he's eager to go to war with those he considers evil, favors a strong military and surrounds himself with those loyal to the cause. Steadfast in nature and sure of his actions, at least as portrayed by his cronies and the media, this could be the world's opportunity for a man who could make a difference to those who are truly most in need of immediate assistance and protection. The United Nations could use a man like this.
In addition, although he would no longer be officially serving the U.S., Bush could help rebuild the hatred of the U.S. in other cultures and nations by now using our military might for truly humanitarian reasons and not simply in order to further U.S. interest abroad. Could you imagine a would where other countries would actually support the actions of George Bush? What a concept! So, although this word has been beaten to death, this is the paradigm shift the United Nations has desperately needed for sometime. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but this time it sounds like the right idea: George, the people of the world need you.
