![]() Defending America at the United Nations -- "I certainly did not accomplish what I wanted to do on Iran. I was not able to convince enough other people above me of the seriousness of Iran's threat; I suggested early on a multilateral diplomatic course that others hijacked and ran in slow motion, to my dismay and to our detriment; and finally, time just ran out on me as I left State. There were many other reasons, not least that the "global test" mentality carried far more weight inside the Bush administration than I had anticipated. After Iraq, the fear of being separated from the Europeans was too great to overcome, even within an administration of supposed unilateralist cowboys." You can find his book at Amazon. |
