Another indictment of the U.N.

Readers of my blog know that I was and am a huge fan of John Bolton, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The only reason he still isn't the Ambassador is that the Democrats saw an opportunity to embarass the Bush Administration by refusing to approve his nomination, and they took full advantage of it (not the President Bush fought very hard to get Ambassador Bolton confirmed; it was another lame effort by an increasingly ineffective President).

In any event, Mr. Bolton has put the pen to the paper and written an excellent Op-Ed in the New York Post excoriating the do-nothing diplomats who seemingly want to see a nuclear-armed Iran: http://www.nypost.com/seven/11062007/postopinion/opedcolumnists/dithering_diplomats_959824.htm?page=0. It's well worth the read. He has also written a memoir, "Surrender is not an Option", which I intend to buy in the next few days. It looks like it will be a fascinating read.
