Quote	"Turtle Bay is a crooked place. No U.S. ambassador can convert its self-serving bureaucrats and envoys of tyrants to standards of probity worthy of Sir Thomas More. What an ambassador can and should do is articulate correct principles as persuasively as possible, rather than sacrificing moral clarity for the sake of a superficial comity. And that is what Bolton did."
