Actually, I find it strange. I kind of feel bad that Bolton's going. After seeing him come down so hard on North Korea and stay after Iran, I feel bad that we will be losing someone who so vigorously fights our enemies who constantly resort to diplomatic bullshit tactics.

What? You feel bad for this scumbag?
Bolton was to achieve exactly nothing for the cause of America, someone with such an obvious lack of diplomatic skills is like an elephant in a glasshouse.
I mean blocking everything is not a special skill you have to train someone for. Every school kid can do this. At the UN you need skills negotiating with others, finding compromises or change the opinion of others through dialogue. Everything of that list is pretty much belonging to what Bolton does NOT stand for.
He might be able to bitch at your enemies. The problem is they dont care about this nothing Bolton, but when you would have to mobilize your allies Bolton is the so totally unable you have to be glad, he does not make more damage than good. there.
I am sure the world sees it as good news that Bolton will be soon history. Its exactly men like him that ruin the reputation of the US in the world. Not only at the enemy countries, but mostly at the countries that are considered to be your allies.
