Steve Clemons explains why Bolton shuld not be approved as America's UN Representative. He is adding to Robert Kutner's harsh editorial on Bolton and a discussion of the reaction of our 'allies' to the nomination for appointment of Wolfowitz to the World Bank.
There is the point made that the US lied to China and Japan about North Korea selling nuclear weapons material to Libya in order to influence them to push North Korea into the 6 party negotiations. Add this to the blatant lies that we all know Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN when trying to get them to support the preemptive attack on Iraq and the manner with which the Bush administration has simply withdrawn from treaties such at the Anti-Ballistic Missle Treaty, and I have to wonder how they think the rest of the world works.
Do they really think that they can repeatedly lie to and militarily push around other nations and then expect them to cooperate with the US when it is all over? Is this a case of the Bush administration and the conservatives believing that the ends they personally know to be true justifying any actions they take to achieve those ends, and when it is over everyone will recognize their "rightness" and forgive and forget?
Since when is the grandiosity and sense of entitlement of Narcissism the characteristic of an entire poltical party? Because this is a form of social narcississm. The entire conservative and extremist religious right seems to have gone mad as a group.
