[news] US promotes hard-liner to UN embassador

[Resist!ca]

"In an Orwellian twist, [Condoleezza] Rice recently called Mr. Bolton a man with 'a proven track record of effective multilateralism.' She also said he would focus on UN reform. John Bolton might want to 'reform' the United Nations right out of existence. At the very least, he will try to ensure that no embarrassment reminiscent of the UN's rejection of the U.S.-led Iraq war is likely to happen again. This alone may explain the appointment of the man who thinks there is no such thing as the UN as the new ambassador to the UN."
