John Bolton: Wrong Priorities

John Bolton, appointed to be United Nations Ambassador but never approved by the Senate has succeeded in uniting the rest of the world in one universal belief: they all depise the man. It is a remarkable achievement. How has he managed to do this in so short a period? By screwing up his priorities. When the UN hald a global summit in the Sudan to address the genocide issue John Bolton decided it was more important to go to Britain where he would be paid to speak before a right wing think tank.

Bolton's take no prisoners and give no quarter style of "diplomacy" has hurt this country and made it more difficult to deal with the world community. He has yet to travel on a single UN mission abroad.
