I like Bolton's direct, plain spoken style. However, he is dangerous on some things. He wants an intervention in Syria and an enforced no fly zone. That would mean shooting down Russian planes while still trying to depose Bashar al-Assad. We have no business getting into a war in Syria or over Syria.
Mr. Trump likes to get a lot of opinions before he rules. I know ideologically Bolton is a little bit suspect, but it seems to me he has the right kind of experience and would know how to initiate a cultural revolution in the state department. I think it would send a far stronger signal than putting a politician in there. Only fly in the ointment - is he owned by the Bushes?
