I remember there were 5 candidates and Ban was the only one who couldn't speak English : maybe that's why he got the job.
There was an Indian bloke whose English was absolutely breath-takingly brilliant, with thinking to match. He even worked for the UN. Trouble was he came from the wrong continent : Korea is bang in the middle of where it's happening now and in the future : despite Britain's loyal boostering, India is unlikely to catch China this century.
But what a sad come-down this inarticulate, circular-thinking Asian is, after big chief Kofi Annan, the most impressive UN Secy-Genl of all.
