Yelling into the wind

A large number of former diplomats have officially gone on record as opposing Bolton's nomination as Ambassador to the UN. Best of luck with that...

If Nobel laureates can't win an argument for real facts, and a heap of decorated generals are ignored when they say Gonzales is a bad choice for State, why would anybody think that our leaders care about the opinions of diplomats? Don't these folks know that diplomacy is quaint, outdated stuff? Note that the response to this letter is the remark "we look forward to his getting to New York to do the nation's business." Because, you know, the U.N. is all about America's business . . .
