American Views Abroad

 
Bolton has resigned as US ambassador to the UN. Back in September Stephen Schlesinger gave excellent reasons why he had to go in at www.maximsnews.com/1006schlesingerseptember18.htm.

We are nowhere near out of the woods yet as Frank Rich wrote in his commentary Has Bush Started Talking to the Walls?

'In his classic study 'The Great War and Modern Memory,' Paul Fussell wrote of how World War I shattered and remade literature, for only a new language of irony could convey the trauma and waste. Under the auspices of Bush, the Iraq war is having a comparable, if different, linguistic impact: The more he loses his hold on reality, the more language is severed from its meaning altogether. .........Civil war? Sectarian violence? A phase? This much is certain: The dead in Iraq don't give a damn what we call it.'
