President Bush has shocked even his most cynical critics by nominating
the combative neoconservative John Bolton to one of our most complex and
sensitive diplomatic posts: U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Bolton served the past four years as undersecretary of state for arms
control and international security, though then-Secretary of State Colin
Powell initially resisted his appointment.( Read more... )

Rice asserts that Bolton will be an outspoken, effective U.N. ambassador
in the vein of Jeane Kirkpatrick and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. If his
appointment serves to bring the United Nations' most rabid critics in
Congress to heel, it may have some merit. Bolton could yet surprise his
skeptics by giving "tough love" a whole new definition. To do so, he
will have to be for the United Nations what Richard Nixon was for China:
a hard-liner who effectively forged groundbreaking change. Those of us
who believe the United States needs an effective, reformed United
Nations can only hope he succeeds.
