Well, good. In my narrow nationalistic view, the fact that our ambassador to the UN would look out for our national interests seems rather natural. An expected thing, in fact.
So this is interesting:
Jeffrey Sachs, a Columbia University economist advising Annan on the world summit, on Wednesday charged that the United States was engaging in a last-minute campaign to "gut" the summit document "with arguments that change by the day."
Ya see, this is the difference between representing America--as Bolton is doing--and siding with the UN to inhibit America. I guess Sachs trusts the UN charter more than he trusts the US Constitution and the ability of our elected government to act in our best interests and to act justly most of the time.
Gut the summit document. It wouldn't be last moment if those who think like Sachs in our Senate hadn't delayed Bolton's nomination for so long. And if Bolton needs to start wagging serious fingers at the likes of Sachs and Annan, I say have at it with my blessings.
