Bolton is an ugly American and an ideological bully

since when did verbal abuse get downgraded to "outspoken," and "tough-minded...?"

Bolton, who served as undersecretary of state in Bush's first term, has been a lightning rod among diplomats, Democrats and some Republicans because of his outspoken, tough-minded approach to issues such as Iran, the Middle East and the United Nations itself.

bolton is the worst kind of bully - mean, with a heavy dose of ideology... he allows no room for discussion, he gives no quarter, he is the very apotheosis of william lederer's and eugene burdicks "The Ugly American..."

The book is a devastating look at the way the American diplomatic corps presents itself abroad. It may have been written decades ago, but given recent events and little evidence that anything has changed in the State Department, the lessons are still extremely applicable to this day...
