 Tharoor bid irks Pak, spurs Asian campaigns-The United States-World-NEWS-The Times of India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
WASHINGTON: India's sudden decision to propose writer-diplomat Shashi Tharoor for the post of UN Secretary General has set off a virtual scramble in Turtle Bay, the Manhattan neighborhood where the UN is located.
The campaigns of hitherto slow-moving Asian contenders -- Thailand, South Korea and Sri Lanka -- have been galvanized, while predictably, Pakistan is threatening to jump into the fray to play spoiler amid hopes that it can somehow in the process extract concessions from India and the world community.
The Tharoor bid also got off to a rather inauspicious start in Turtle Bay with his current boss Kofi Annan suggesting that any internal candidate needs to focus on his work as long as he remains at his current job.

Yet I have always looked upon the tall pile of bricks at Turtle Bay in Manhattan as a necessary international institution.
You may not appreciate my perspective, Pat, but I would say the proof is in the pudding, i.e., our United States “won the Cold War” without a nuclear exchange.
You can now see more clearly that the only real force determined to denigrate Kofi Annan, and with him the entire infrastructure at Turtle Bay, is that of the neo-cons and their allies in Congress and in the conservative news media.
