United Nations
It appears that John Bolton, the divisive Bush appointment will be stepping down as the United States Representative to the United Nations. His appointment to a post of such stature has being as controversial as any presidential sex scandal.
He was originally appointed by President Bush during a congressional recess—without debate or consensus.
Mr. Bolton is what some would call a “war hawk” in that he is willing and seems at times anxious to go to war. His most recent stance that made clear his irrefutable disregard for global consensus is that topic of unilaterally attacking Iran.
Mr. Bolton was/is hell-bent on unilaterally attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities in the hopes that the attacks would cripple their progress towards becoming another nuclear power. The stench of hypocrisy is unbearable to me.
He in no way represents the opinion of the world community but with the veto power the US has within the UN Security Council, it is certain that global consensus has long been thrown out the window. Lucky, other members of the Security Council are willing to put the brakes on passage of such an irresponsible resolution.
I welcome the Democrats certain rejection of Mr. Bolton nomination. Mr. Bush’s audacity in re-submitting Mr. Bolton as the nominee is unbelievable. He should have more sense. A man that has been quoted as saying the UN is “irrelevant” should not be allowed to lead this country in the world community. He should sit on the sidelines and watch a peace loving American represent the US.
