Congress refused to approve Bush's appointment for UN Ambassador, so what's the solution? maybe we should pick a different person, perhaps someone that isn't so controversial, maybe someone who is representative of americans and their elected officials in washington. Maybe Bush should go to his second or third choice seing as how John Bolton doesen't even have the support of a good number of Republicans, let alone Democrats. The responsable, American, --pride in our fine democratic system which we hope to spread around the globe-- thing to do, would be to appoint someone who is representative of the greatest number of Americans and their ideals. Afterall this person is the face that America choses to represent their collective interests on the world stage.
Obviously the Bush administration is not at all interested in Democracy no matter how many times they use the word to justify their actions. the goal for Bush and his Neo-conservative buddies is... ABSOLUTE POWER!!!!!
Bush "sidestepped" Congress and appointed Bolton anyway. he waited untill the senate was in recess so that they could not vote against him, infact they couldn't vote at all because they're Not There!!!! ... wait a minute let me say that one more time, Our President didn't like the result when he used the democratic means sanctioned under our constitution, so he avoided democracy entirely and forced america and the world to accept his decision whether they like it or not.
