It’s all over the news, but let me add my own piece on the 59 former American diplomats who have written to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar to say that the choice of John Bolton could not be more wrong for America’s perch in the U.N.
After the election, I explained the outcome of the Bush-Kerry presidential race in part in the language of a vulgar but brilliant movie that had then been released, Team America: World Police. The favorite line of the terrorist-tracking U.S.
