Bolton offers keen insight into such international crises as North Korea's nuclear test, Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, the genocide in Darfur, the negotiation that produced the controversial end of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, and more.

Not a big fan of Kofi Annan. Not a big fan of anyone at the United Nations, as far as I can tell.
