Bolton is perfectly qualified for the job!

The United Nations is a mess. Often corrupt and venal, always inefficient and wasteful, frequently captured by the worst political interests, and commonly motivated by the worst ideological impulses, the organization is anything but "the last great hope of mankind." If anyone can push it towards real reform, it is a serious critic, like John Bolton. Bolton, nominated by President George W. Bush to be the U.S. ambassador to the world body, is perfectly qualified for the job. He knows multilateral diplomacy, having served as assistant secretary of State for international organizations in the first Bush administration and as undersecretary of State for arms control and international security since 2001. [...] Americans will be able to sleep more soundly after the Senate confirms John Bolton as their representative to the U.N.
