"If a job is meaningless enough to be entrusted to someone who is unqualified to do it, do we really need to fill that post? This point is made especially forcefully when even the most important such jobs (like Japan) are being filled by political bag men...with the proliferation of special envoys in this administration...diplomats who report directly to the Secretary of State or the President...being a regular ambassador is rendered even more of a bag-carrier or logistical coordinator role."
