Bolton on Somalia

Posted by John Norris on April 17, 2009

Former Bush administration Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton proposed his own solution to the Somalia crisis over the weekend. He posited that the United States should form a coalition of the willing and launch both airstrikes and a ground invasion of Somalia as a way to treat the piracy problem. Pretty incredible stuff. His solution strikes me as somewhat akin to burning down a house to get rid of a termite problem. Bolton’s sage counsel must be deeply missed at U.N. headquarters in New York.
