Bush nominates UN critic as ambassador
By Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | March 8, 2005
WASHINGTON -- President Bush yesterday nominated Undersecretary of State John Bolton, one of the administration's sharpest critics of the United Nations, to be the next US ambassador to the UN in a move that officials said signals Washington's desire to play a leading role in reshaping the 59-year-old institution.
Bolton, who once said that the UN does not exist" and that "it would not make a bit of difference" if the UN building in New York lost 10 of its 38 stories, would succeed John Danforth, a soft-spoken former senator from Missouri.
