UN Ambassador: President Bush's appointment of John Bolton as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations was a huge surprise. It is the clearest sign yet that Bush is taking off his gloves and preparing to make life miserable for the UN establishment.

1) Bolton, the current undersecretary of

State for arms control, seemed earmarked for oblivion during Bush's second term. He is no John Danforth.

2) Bolton's nomination to State in 2001 was greeted by Democrat apoplexy. He was decried then as a dangerous ideologue who would "dismantle" world efforts at arms control. Senate Democrats, one after another, rose and recited Bolton quotations they found unpalatable and outrageous.

3) Among Bolton's better quotations: "The Europeans can be sure that America's days as a well-bred doormat for EU political and military protections are coming to an end." Also: "While treaties may be politically or even morally binding, they are not legally obligatory." More: "There is no such thing as the United Nations." And finally: "If the UN secretariat building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
