From the Washington Post's "In the Loop" column:
"U.N. Ambassador John Bolton , who's president of the Security Council this month, is making some headway in imposing law and order at the notoriously fractious council -- but it's not been easy. At his first session last week, Bolton tried to impose fresh discipline and some new practices. First, he asked top U.N. staff to provide the council with daily briefings on the latest peacekeeping crises, irking council members who abhor changes and sparking groans from staff. Then, he proposed discussions on corruption in U.N. peacekeeping, which is proving unpopular -- the issue's not considered a threat to international peace and security by some. Most controversial of all, he insisted that all 15 Security Council members show up to meetings on time, at 10 a.m. Asked Thursday by a reporter whether he really thought he could start the council meetings on time, Bolton said he had failed. 'I took a list of when they came in. We started just before 10:15. I brought the gavel down at 10. I was the only one in the room, though.'"
While the far left isn't happy with Ambassador Bolton's reform efforts, the rest of America wants him to succeed.
