Hillary at the UN?

Last week, I discussed the upcoming vacancy at the top UN spot. I wasn't too kind about Mr. Ban Ki-moon and suggested, tongue-and-cheek, that you and I might do a better job. That comment while not overtly intended to my male readers assumed that the UN needed another male leader, but as the week developed, it was rumored that Hillary Clinton was looking for the top job at the World Bank. She then went on to deny the rumor. That precisely when a light bulb went on inside my cranium when I thought that she'd be incredibly qualified – and excellent – at taking Ban Ki-moon succession at the helm of the United Nations.

Through her marriage to Bill, she's had the experience of what it is to run the most powerful country in the world, she's since successfully ran for office and, more recently, she's accumulate priceless experience as the US Secretary of State. What's more however is that she's a women, and better than any stodgy men that seem to be anchored as UN Secretary General, she understands the world, its issues and women enormous responsibilities, including raising families and reproductive rights, which are a the root cause of our current environmental crisis and most of the instability in our planet hot-spots. What a candidate she'd make and what a qualified UN Chief she'd be!
