We need a maniac at the U.N.
When I heard the Democratic allegations that John Bolton, President Bush's nominee for United Nations ambassador, chased a subordinate down the halls, tossed papers at her and -- oh my gawd! -- slid letters under her door, I knew this was the guy we needed at the U.N.!
We need an ambassador for the U.N. who's a maniac. It doesn't matter to me if the allegations are true or not. Really, it doesn't. Just the fact that the liberals on the panel cited this hysterical claim is enough of a recommendation for me. It's not like I'm insensitive, but I've met the type of person it sounded like Bolton was dealing with. She was an idiot. I yelled at her, made her cry and she went into theatrics after that. If she would've slugged me, cussed me out or at least stood her ground, I'd have had respect for her. But she was destined to attain a level of mediocrity as a bureaucrat sniping other bureaucrats.
We need an ambassador for the U.N. who's a maniac. For too long, the primary criterium the U.S. had for appointing ambassadors to the U.N. was did the candidate have the ability to kiss six different foreign ass cheeks at once. And what has the soft touch gotten us? The appointment of the Libyan representative to head the human rights committee? That's like naming Janet Reno to investigate Bill Clinton, letting Elliot Spitzer and William Donaldson investigate Wall Street only to bitch-slap a few corporate execs, or naming Bill Clinton and his ex-chief of staff and former SBA head Erskine Bowles to ensure there's no corruption in the tsunami relief program.
We need an ambassador for the U.N. who's a maniac. The U.N. stalled on any U.S. moves against Iraq, and now we know why. Pretty much everyone at the U.N. was making kickback money in the Oil-for-Food scam, from Kofi Annan on down. This is common in countries around the world, a little gratuity, so are we really that surprised? There are as many pirates in the U.N. as there are on Wall Street. The problem is they are feathering their nests at the expense of U.S. security.
We need an ambassador for the U.N. who's a maniac. Of course, there is an investigation of U.N. Secretary General Kofi Anan, an investigation that has been thwarted on so many levels that two principle U.S. investigators have resigned in disgust. If you're waivering in your support of Bolton, read this story because the networks won't tell you. I heard about how John Bolton was such a maniac tonight from CBS' Gloria Borger (no relation to Lucretia, I'm sure) but I heard nothing about the resignation of the investigators.
The Associated Press reported:
If that doesn't convince people of the need for an ass-kicking maniac at the U.N., I don't know what will. Mark my words, in a few years even the liberals are going to be calling this guy "Johnny on the Spot Bolton."
So, in summation, I'd just like to say ...
We need an ambassador for the U.N. who's a maniac.

Where was the U.N. while the genocide occurred in Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Bosnia/Croatia, Haiti or, more recently, Saddam Hussein's attack on the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs, and the genocide in Sudan? The U.S. gets blamed for not intervening in these human rights catastrophes and gets blamed when it does intervene. Genocide is a world problem that should be address by the world body, but is not.

The Associated Press reported:
Two senior investigators with the committee probing corruption in the U.N. oil-for-food program have resigned in protest, saying they believe a report that cleared Kofi Annan of meddling in the $64 billion operation was too soft on the secretary-general, a panel member confirmed Wednesday.

The investigators were identified as Robert Parton and Miranda Duncan.
Parton, as the senior investigative counsel for oil-for-food, had a wide purview. He was responsible for investigations into the procurement of companies under the oil-for-food program and he was the lead investigator on issues pertaining to allegations of impropriety relating to the secretary-general and his son Kojo Annan. Duncan worked on Parton's team.

"Finally, Democrats are retailing a charge from a partisan Democrat — founder of the Dallas chapter of Mothers Opposing Bush — that Bolton chased her through a Moscow hotel 11 years ago, throwing things and acting like a “madman.” Bolton was working for a company for which the woman, Melody Townsel, was a subcontractor. The head of the company, Jayant Kalotra, says he doesn’t believe it happened and that Bolton was always professional. Townsel’s boss at the subcontractor, Charlie Black, also says he didn’t hear of it at the time, even though Townsel was never shy about complaining."
Where was the U.N. while the genocide occurred in Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Bosnia/Croatia, Haiti or, more recently, Saddam Hussein's attack on the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs, and the genocide in Sudan? The U.S. gets blamed for not intervening in these human rights catastrophes and gets blamed when it does intervene. Genocide is a world problem that should be address by the world body, but is not. Reuters today reported:
United Nations human rights chief Louise Arbour delivered a stinging closing report to the U.N.'s top rights forum on Friday, saying the way it singled out just four states for rebuke was "not credible." Addressing the 53-state Commission on Human Rights at the end of its annual six-week session, Arbour said nobody could believe that only those four -- Cuba, Myanmar, North Korea and Belarus -- merited scrutiny by the Geneva-based body. "There is something fundamentally wrong with a system in which the question of the violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms in any part of the world is answered by reference to just four states," the High Commissioner for Human Rights added.Also, investigators from the U.N. Human Rights Commission -- investigators not from commission members Libya, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Congo or Sudan but from Japan and South Korea -- are finally looking into racial discrimination in India, the world's largest racist country. India openly practices systemic racism against the Dalits through a "caste system," who are called "untouchables." Dalit supporters suggest a U.N. conspiracy exists to turn a blind eye to racism and human rights abuses in other countries as well, which they identified as Algeria, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guinea, Japan, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Yemen. So much for liberals laying heritage claim to protection of human rights. Liberalism must mean "lip service" in Clintonista newspeak. Are any more reaons necessary why we need a maniac as the ambassador to the U.N.?]

Wow! What can I say but thank you very much! I'm honored that folk see fit to drop by the site and overwhelmed by the support as well. Thank you very much for the link!
Blogs are participatory. The folk who read and comment on the ideas contained within the blog are so important to finding solutions to the problems that face us all.
TV and print media are all one-sided. Print media has letters' sections, but they pick and choose whose letters to print. TV doesn't even give folk that anymore. Radio will put listners on the air, but not everyone can participate. With blogs, EVERYONE can participate and sound-off. And that's how all of sudden folk find they're not just the only thinking a particular thought. It's the "A-ha!" moment of clarity!
If all the "ethical violations" big and small at the U.N. were revealed, the citzens of those countries would tar and feather their representatives! And that may not be such a bad idea!
