Why I Ignore the UN, Part XLI

The BBC held a mock "global election" where voters picked who they "would like to lead a fantasy world government." Since world government is a leftist utopian (actually, dystopian) dream, it's no surprise that -- except for Federal Reserve boss Alan Greenspan -- the winners spanned the range from liberal to loony:

1 - Nelson Mandela
2 - Bill Clinton
3 - Dalai Lama
4 - Noam Chomsky
5 - Alan Greenspan
6 - Bill Gates
7 - Steve Jobs
8 - Archbishop Desmond Tutu
9 - Richard Branson
10 - George Soros
11 - Kofi Annan

National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr. once said he "should sooner live in a society governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the 2,000 faculty members of Harvard University." Ditto here.
