hmmm, it's called democracy and accountability. She was voted in, he was appointed. Kinda works the same here. Coulson should've sacked Cameron, that way News International could directly reign over us.

Argumentum ad hominem gets a little boring, try using evidence-based reasoning.

“Foreign Policy magazine has called Amorim the “world's best foreign minister.””

If this political bufoon is/was 'the best foreign minister to be found across the world', it speaks volumes about the state of the world's foreign relations !

His term of office was characterised by the most 'off the wall' and gobsmackingly stupid foreign policy initiatives that most of us have ever seen.

Give him a 'toybox' full of guns and bullets to play with, and expect him and the left axis of Venezuela, Cuba, Brasil etc to politically tread-down any developing right of centre evolution in the Continent, and expect real military actions wherever they can get away with it.
