When I played Highschool football during the summer, at first everyone hated our coach because he told us things (truth) we did not want to hear. At the end of the year, with one loss, we all loved him. He was a tough SOB, didn't always say things in a sensitive manner, but more important was that he cared and in the end we figured that out. |
Keep trying things, maybe you'll hit one.
It's not "toughness" we dislike Bolton for. It's not "brutal honesty". It's arrogance and derision toward the very notion of diplomacy.
The disdain he holds the UN in has been widely documented. I see where you've typed "I disagree", but you haven't really said what you've seen that has you feel that way, so it's hard to do much more than say, "Well, I disagree back, and lots of people feel the way I do, and you and the President appear to be the only ones to feel the way you do, so..." But I am interested in seeing some evidence for your attitude toward the man, if you have some.
