John Bolton Doesn't Speak For Me

Please go to Common Dreams and here, and check out what John Bolton is doing at the World Summit to embarass the American people and set back world diplomacy in this, the most dangerous of times.

Here we are, in the wake of Katrina, undermining the UN and all it stands for.

The opening salvo a couple of weeks ago was the remarkable assertion by the United States government that the Millennium Development Goals do not even exist, so that the phrase itself should be expunged from the document. This was news to the rest of the world, who were gathering at the Summit first and foremost to find ways to reinforce the Millennium Development Goals.

The argument was not very impressive. All 18 of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals - to halve hunger, fight disease, reduce maternal mortality, ensure access to safe drinking water, and more - are explicitly part of the Millennium Declaration. With 190 countries standing in opposition to the US position, the US relented.

This aggressive position has continued down to the details. The US has fought commitments to a “Quick Win” against malaria through the mass distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets and effective medications. It has resisted commitments to quick wins in other areas as well. In the end, every specific target and timetable to help the world’s poorest of the poor has come under US fire.

John Bolton: YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME!
Please go crawl back under that rock.
