i am not sure where the basis for anything like a conversation about bolton could lie, given the way this thread has developed. basically, you have more conservative folk who for whatever reason have a degree of contempt for the un and who (surprise) supported bolton not because he was effective, but because he was an adequate reflection of their dispositions toward the organization. so he could just as easily have been a piece of paper or a shoe or a puppet made of hamburger with a little box inside that repeats "the un sucks" as anyone or anything else--his actual performance is irrelevant to these arguments.
other folk who think that un a space where actual diplomacy is of some consequence try to address questions about bolton's actual performance, but these get nowhere.
where's the conversation?
i dont get it.
