Interesting, if you go here, the majority of the Council for a Livable World site doesn't work - but you can get to the page they want you to use to send an anti-Bolton email.
To me, it reads like every reason to support the man. I marked the most telling line in bold. Leave it to the left to advocate diplomacy for diplomacy's sake, regardless of US interests. Could a statement be any more vacuous, or undermining of US interests through the UN?
Council for a Livable World -- Compose a Message.
Please oppose the nomination of John Bolton to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. It is hard to find a person less suited to the job. Bolton is an outspoken, undisciplined go-it-alone official who has repeatedly ridiculed the United Nations and alienated U.S. allies.
Bolton has a long history of advocating U.S. unilateral action. He has stated that "Diplomacy is not an end [in] itself if it does not advance U.S. interests." He helped formulate the administration’s go-it-alone policy that has isolated us from our allies and tarnished our image abroad. He has questioned the effectiveness and the very purpose of the United Nations. He once said that "There is no such thing as the United Nations."
It is essential that the post of ambassador to the United Nations be filled by someone who understands the importance of working with other nations and is willing to engage in serious diplomacy to formulate peaceful resolutions to conflicts around the world.
Please vote against this misguided appointment.
