• John Bolton interview

  If you have any interest in world politics, or Iraq, or Iran, or Europe, or America, or conservativism, or liberalism, or if you want to listen to a funny interview, or if you want to hear two immensely talented public speakers from diametrically opposed worldviews having an energetic 10-minute discussion on world politics, check out this BBC interview with John Bolton, former US ambassador to the UN.    If that link doesn't work for you, try this one.

   

  Some parts will make you want to cheer (whether you're liberal OR conservative), and other parts will make you just say, "ouch!"   My favorite part was the part about America allegedly "squandering its moral authority in the world" or something like that (i.e. by the Iraq invasion by the 'coalition').  I wish Bolton had taken that one up in more detail.

   

  I find myself quite amazed at how fast Bolton can think on his feet.   I'd be tongue tied for a while after some of those questions.  I guess he's used to it from the UN.
