John Bolton's Nomination
ResumeThose opposed to his appointment charge that his selective use of intelligence to support hard-lined positions and his strong rhetoric against the U.N. in the past make him an unproductive pick. In 1994, Bolton said "it wouldn't make a bit of difference" if the U.N. headquarters building lost 10 stories.
It seems clear that, if appointed, Bolton will shake things up at the U.N. The question is whether he'll be a reformer or a wrecking ball.
