A month ago I'd have agreed with you. I *think* that John Bolton is going to cut the crap that's been occuring in the UN for so long. I hope my assessment and opinion is on target.... If Bolton is anything like Cheney or Rummy, conditions within the UN will change dramtically.
Having Bolton there certainly helps, but don't forget that almost all the countries IN the UN are more anti-US, than they are anti-terrorist, or anti-Iran.
They would rather see the destruction of the US, than anything else.
Bolton takes over at diplomacy's lowest ebb.
