A previous US ambassador (not THE previous one) to the UN around the early 70s I think, Daniel Moynihan, was hired to throw a spanner in the works over the Arab-Israeli conflict, successfully as it turned out. He even bragged about it in his memoirs. Negroponte was of course, the US ambassador to Honduras while the death squads were doing their dirty work.

It's pretty much standard US policy to install someone who's going to be a saboteur of anything that goes against US interests. Bolton's just another identikit bureaucrat pressed from the same mould.
