I am thoroughly familiar with what it takes to be a leader of others. I had some great training - the military. I am not claiming to be an expert - but I certainly know what works and what does not. One of the bedrock principles is that you have a back ground common with those that you are attempting to lead. Reality is, if you don’t – you won’t.
I’m waiting for a logical explanation as to how the UN can be “lead” by a schmuck from a two-bit, third world country. This does not pass the “sniff” test.
Tomorrow, I hope GWB tells the UN that they really stink.

Nice to know he is a bigger parasite than most.
