You Never Know
The two most recent ambassadorial appointments by Washington and Riyadh http://spacetimecurves.blogspot.com/2005/07/ambassador.html (House of Bush and House of Saud), highlight the new situation prophetically forecast in the best book to date for getting a top view of things--Networks and Netwars: The Future of Terror, Crime, and Militancy by John Arquilla.
In this pre-9/11 analysis of the evolution of interlocking ties between business, governments, and criminal syndicates, this RAND researcher and scholar disects the systematic supplanting of civil structures that guaranteed the complete breakdown of democratic regulating mechanisms on a global scale. Appointments of blatant criminals like Bolton to the UN, and the former Saudi intelligence chief to Washington, can only be viewed as acts of consolidating the archcriminal structure initiated in part by the 1976 CIA Director George Herbert Walker Bush.
As political researcher Daniel Junas put it, "It's always worse than you think."
