Sorry, but your conviction that John Bolton's main purview and concern at the UN was to save innocent lives is rather disingenuous, don't you think? And for that matter, conservatives are coming to the "we must stop genocide and the world's injustice" party rather late. But hey, better late than never. We won't turn you away at the door.

No one is talking about not hurting someone's feelings. We're dealing with the sudden mass realization that the tactics attempted by the Bush administration to effect change and combat terrorism were ineffective at best and catastrophically inept at worst. Why not direct your indignant outrage where it belongs?
