As it happens the UN General Assembly is currently being chaired by a Libyan diplomat, Ali Treki. He had insisted that all heads of state speak for no longer than 15 minutes. But he did not apply this to Gaddafi, who he introduced in neutral style as “king of kings and leader of the revolution.” The Libyan leader rambled on for some 96 minutes, reading off scraps of paper, and throwing the UN schedule into chaos.
C-CS --Ambassador Bolton had a good take---keep the UN here--good for $ for NY and we can keep better tabs on them...
BTW-If Bolton ever runs --I will support him w/ $$$ and even walk precinct for his campaign !!!

Several nations, most of them Muslim, use the honorific "King of Kings" for their leaders. It's blasphemy but that has never stopped them.
SR-It was new to me--I learn more and more of the world of Islam...
