I don't think the Secretary General has that much authority, if he did he wouldn't be black for 2 terms :D 

Don Rizzle:
The UN is not America! its an international organisation skin colour has nothing to do with it. even if the secretary general doesn't have much power (how much of that is true i don't know?) he has alot of influence. the bush administration has made anti american sentiment increase hugely since coming to power do you think those people will respect bill clinton or will they see america having more power over the UN than before. i've always spoken very highly of bill clinton but the role isn't suited to him IMO

OmNIsCiUs:
I'm gonna have to go with Don Rizzle on this one.. He was a good president but things being what they are in the world, its probably not the best time for him. If world sentiment changed over the next few years, then i'd be in favour

I don't think people associate Bill Clinton with the Bush Version of America.

I don't see why repubs are getting angry. If anything this would give us more weight in the UN.
