Bolton! Bolton! Bolton!

After writing the piece below, I am overwhelmed by the corruptness that saturates the UN. Rank-and-file UN pedophiles in Congo. Oil-for-food cheating the hungry to build up Saddam's weapons and scammers' bank accounts. Greenhouse gas credits. And on and on, in a long, deep string of filth.

It reminds me of my feelings as we were moving toward our second war with Iraq. My inside-the-beltway-liberal mom was horrified at the thought of war because "it might destabilize the Mideast." "Exactly!," I thought. No region of the world needed destabilization worse, and with each passing day, it's increasingly evident that Bush's strategy is paying off.

Reader Rod Stanton closes this thought with a comment on an earlier post:

The UN has been corrupt for 50 years. It is not just Kofi; although he is a bribe seeking, influence peddler of the worst kind. This is why Bolton is needed. If Dr. Frist can not get him approved then Frist should step aside so somone with leadership ability can be GOP leader.
