President Bush nominated John Bolton, now undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, to be our ambassador to the U.N
National Review, March 28, 2005
* President Bush nominated John Bolton, now undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, to be our ambassador to the U.N. This is joyous news, an appointment in the tradition of Jeane Kirkpatrick. Within hours of the announcement the media had made "hardliner" into Bolton's first name, and Democrats are pledging to fight his confirmation.
Bolton is indeed a conservative, but one who has throughout his career shown a willingness to try to save multilateral institutions from their worst excesses--he worked successfully to reverse the U.N.'s "Zionism is racism" resolution--and make them serve U.S. interests, as the Bolton-crafted Proliferation Security Initiative--it brings nations together to block trade in WMD-related items--has done. As the U.N. attempts to recover from the oil-for-food scandal and other blights, and as diplomacy becomes a more salient aspect of the War on Terror, Bolton's voice and experience are exactly what the United States needs at the U.N. Get him to Turtle Bay forthwith.
