John Bolton hints at being an oddball without saying a word. One look at the white-drying-mop moustache with the incongruity of a full head of dark hair begs the question if he owns a mirror or does he use one? He is America's UN Ambassador who was pushed by Lynne Cheney ( Dick's wife ). I guess if you can marry Dick then don't bother to question her about matters of taste.
Bolton is a creationist. He believes in the Bible as it is written. Among those beliefs is the dictate of the Bible that man has dominion over the earth's flora and fauna to do with as man chooses. This belief underlies his recent action as US Ambassador.
The UN on Sept. 14, 2005, is having a summit on Millenium Development Goals which were APPROVED by world leaders 5 years ago. Bolton submitted a last-minute list of 500 amendments to a draft document that the diplomats have been nogotiating for the past 6 months. I am no fan of the UN. They are just another layer of mostly unneeded bureacrats. But symbolically one of the changes Bolton wants is to delete " respect for nature " from the " core values " principles that unite the UN. When Ric Grenell of the US mission to the UN was asked why the request for deletion, he said " the phrase was to broad a subject."
Oh. God is a topic that is easier to limit and capture.
