bolton is a sadistic bully who wants to dominate people. he never got to be more than temporary u.n. ambassador under george w. bush because he had mercilessly tortured his office staff. bolton likes to hurt people who are weaker than he. he is not after iran because he’s afraid of it. he’s after it because it is one of the last countries in the world still bucking the u.s. power architecture and which is too weak to resist an all-out assault. he wants to see flies walking on the iranians eyeballs and wants even their dogs to be fucked.
