| John Bolton, forthright American envoy to the UN, tells Jasper Gerard Britain has to swing behind reform pronto If you consider Donald Rumsfeld the unacceptable face of American power, you probably havenÂ’t met John Bolton. Even muscular rightwingers at the Centre for Policy Studies, whom the American ambassador to the United Nations addressed in London last week, squirmed like cheese-eating surrender monkeys when he seemed to suggest countries such as Ethiopia should have reduced voting rights at the UN because they are stingy with their budgetary contributions. But Bolton, appointed by President Bush in defiance of Congress, has one virtue even his greatest detractors could not dispute: he shoots straight. If you want to know how America really sees the world, listen to Bolton. |

| #10 9-11 > America accepts [anti-US]Socialism-OWG or it will be destroyed; DUBYA's corollary > America rules the world or Amer's enemies will destroy America. DUBYA > AMERICA CHOOSES TO RULE THE WORLD IN THE AMERICAN WAY - NO MORE HOLDING BACK OR RESTRAINING OURSELF AS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER TWO WORLD WARS, KOREA 1, VIETNAM, COLD WAR, AND DESERT STORM-KOSOVO, ETC. AMERICA RULES, OR AMERICA DIES! |

| #9 If Bolton were REALLY gutsy - he'd turn this ..."Then he lets slip something intriguing: “One of the frustrations for us is that the EU says, ‘We can’t discuss very much with you until we come to a common EU position’. That may be what the EU is all about, but to us it is very frustrating....” into something that would REALLY make their heads explode by "suggesting" that if they speak w/1 voice, they should only have 1 seat. And point out they can't have it both ways if they go ahead w/the EU. |
