Change
How can we get along with the rest of the world when they expect us to change?
How can we get along with the rest of the world if we expect THEM to change (i.e. do what we say, when we say it, how we say it)? We helped create the United Nations, then when they don't tell us what we want to hear, we decide that we don't really need to do what they say. They didn't want us to go into Iraq, there are many good reasons for their decision (I'm sure some of them were financial and a conflict of interest), but when the rest of the world except for England (oh, and don't forget Poland) tell us not to do it, maybe we should listen. The rest of the world hates us, and this is just shortly after the world was sympathetic towards us from 9/11. This administration went from the largest outpouring of sympathy and hope from the world to the most hated nation (above and beyond Iraq and Iran) in less than 3 years. Bolton will just keep us on this course or worse, he is the WORST person to nominate. No matter what you feel about an organization, you don;t appoint a person to be your representative when that person has said he doesn't even believe the organization exists.
