John Bolton On Israel, Iran, And The Bomb In The Wall Street Journal

Allow me to give you an excerpt from the very end of John Bolton's piece in the WSJ appearing July 15, 2008: "When the real source of the threat, not just a surrogate, nears the capacity for nuclear Holocaust, can anyone seriously doubt Israel's propensities, whatever the impact on gasoline prices? Thus, instead of debating how much longer to continue five years of failed diplomacy, we should be intensively considering what cooperation the U.S. will extend to Israel before, during and after a strike on Iran. We will be blamed for the strike anyway, and certainly feel whatever negative consequences result, so there is compelling logic to make it as successful as possible. At a minimum, we should place no obstacles in Israel's path, and facilitate its efforts where we can. These subjects are decidedly unpleasant. A nuclear Iran is more so." I could not agree more.

Mr. Bolton is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and is the author of "Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations." He was a former ambassador to the United Nations under Bush. In my opinion, he is perhaps one of the greatest voices on foreign policy issues.
