I agree with this sentiment, although I do certainly disagree with Bolton's politics in that he seems to share the same
stubborn and condescending view of US foreign policy as those who put him in the UN. This tack has been a miserable failure for the US and for the life of me I cannot understand anyone who wholeheartedly supports it at this juncture.
