Bush to appoint Bolton next week

Oh now I get it. Send a criminal to fight a criminal.

In that case he should have gone himself rather than a facsimile.

Once again, your make libelous statements referring to the Ambassador as a criminal.

Apparently, in this regard, you are just another parrot like many of the Democratic Senators.

And with respect to Bush IMO his actions in regard to Iraq were criminal.

Lovely. Do I get to pick whether my country is a dictatorship, a rogue regime or a communist nation, or do I have to ask you about that as well?

Your diplomatic talent almost equals that of the Ambassador.

Did I say ENTIRELY of crooked dictators, etc?

Maybe not, but "The UN is made up in the majority of crooked dictators, rogue regimes and communist nations that want nothing but to make the US (and England for that matter) a second rate member." can easily be read as 'crooked dictators, rogue regimes and communist nations except for the US and England'. Dontchathink?

Not if you read carefully. If you gloss over the words extremely quickly, or suffer from a lack of reading comprehension, I suppose you could leap to the conclusion you did -- but you'd be wrong either way.

Well, how about finding out? Maybe somebody could color-code the member nations according to an identification as crooked dictatorship, rogue regime or communist nation?
