Bolton is stepping down!

Unable to win Senate confirmation, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton will step down when his temporary appointment expires within weeks, the White House said Monday.

Apparently Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, is the front runner to replace him. What do people think?

Question..

By Superduperficial Dec 6th 2006 at 4:56 am EST

...Have any of the progressive policy institutes put out any serious, strategically and politically feasible proposals for major UN reform?

If not, and the Administration hasn't come up with much except thumbing its nose, why exactly does it really matter who our UN ambassador is?

Most answers to this question I've heard rest on vague exhortations to "diplomacy" that intentionally eschew all details, usually because the respondent has none in mind - other than a fuzzy idea that if countries talk to each other, things work out in the end.
