You and others can remain convinced that the world and the UN "deserves" to be bullied and shown disrespect, but it will never mean that it WORKS for us. Perhaps you believe they meant well, which is all well and good, whatever, but it doesn't win hearts and minds. And whether you like it or not, we need them.

Perhaps it did not work because he did not have the support of Congress and the US. Bolton's response was nice compared to what I think. I guess you would support the watered down tone by Annan, which didn't work and he had the support of the rest of the world and the liberals in the US. All this not wanting to hurt someone's feelings while people die is making my blood boil. I must sign off. Thanks.
