… reviewing an article in the Washington Post titled “Tough Love or Tough Luck ?” that seems to shake its head (so to speak) at John Bolton’s recent nomination as US Ambassador to the United Nations, I came across this:
Finally, Bolton criticized any ” ‘right of humanitarian intervention’ to justify military operations to prevent ethnic cleansing or potential genocide.” One must wonder how forcefully he will work to halt what the administration deems genocide in Darfur.”
Well, one would also wonder …. since there no WMD’s, it seems that George and his buddies decided that the real reason to invade and occupy Iraq was to prevent any additional ethnic cleansing or potential genocide that bad bad Saddam may have had in mind. Oh, wait .. who was it that flattened Fallujah ?
According to the quote above, one would presume that John Bolton would have argued forcefully against the USA using “the right of humanitarian intervention” to set the stage for the march of freedom and democracy that is still at the starting line in Iraq.
