I am reminded of someone that appointed an openly homosexual ambassador to a country that was entirely muslim. That was about as in your face as one can possibly get to the society involved. That would be much worse than leaving an already appointed ambassador in place.
Who could have done that? Any ideas, Freepers?
Bill Clinton appointed a homosexual to be Ambassador to Luxembourg, a country that is about 95% Catholic.
Democrats like to force their leftist ideas upon others.
