US Ambassador to the UN Zalmay Khalilzad?
Will President Bush Appoint the First Muslim Ambassador to the UN

Mr. Novak is suggesting that outgoing Ambassador to Iraq Khalilzad may be appointed to replace Bolton:
President Bush was reported by aides as looking for someone who approximates Bolton's combination of toughness and diplomatic skill and has tentatively decided on Khalilzad. A native of Afghanistan, he has served in government posts dating back to 1985 and is the highest-ranking Muslim in the Bush administration.
A footnote: State Department sources have said Andrew Card, who on April 14 finished five years as White House chief of staff, was interested in the UN post and was a dark horse to get it. However, he never made any such desire known to the president and is not being considered for the UN.

We should demonstrate the irrevelance of the UN by sending a complete nobody to the post. Send the guys who trims the hedges at the Whote House. Send Jesse Ventura or that "Can you hear me now?" dude from the cell-phone commercials. The UN is a joke. Treat it like one.

Bolton to Khalilzad? Why not Harriet Miers?
