If this is the kind of obnoxious bullying that the liberals were worried about, I'm proud to call myself "not liberal".

US pressures UN to condemn Hizbullah

Following intense US pressure, the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday issued an unprecedented condemnation of Monday's Hizbullah attacks on northern Israel.

This condemnation - slamming Hizbullah by name for "acts of hatred" - marked the first time the Security Council has ever reprimanded Hizbullah for cross-border attacks on Israel. The condemnation followed by two days a failed attempt to get a condemnation issued on Monday, the day of the attack, when Algeria came out against any mention of Hizbullah in the statement.

When asked what changed from Monday to Wednesday, one diplomatic official replied: "John Bolton,"
a reference to the US ambassador to the UN. Bolton lobbied vigorously for the passage of the statement.
