Double standard? Surely not!

What would the reaction be if any former high ranking administration official from any prior Democratic presidential administration gleefully and sympathetically gave an interview to something called "Left Wing News"? Simple condemnation? Calls for his or her trail for sedition? Calls for his or her execution?

Well the resplendently mustached former Bush administration temporary permanent US representative to the United Nations John Bolton has done just the opposite and given an interview to something called Right Wing "News" (quotes mine) in which amongst other things he states quite clearly that he believes that there are only two options remaining re Iran: regime change and invasion.

I will check my copy of the UN charter later but I believe both of these options to be a violation of international law; at least without a Security Council resolution which they will never get.

Despite all of this the silence is deafening!
