John Bolton: ‘We Must Protect Our Interests And Allies’

Looking back at your experiences in the political arena, what stands out as the most significant and memorable?

We were not so successful in stopping Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Sadly, by the end of the Bush administration its policy was not that different from the policy we’ve seen under the Obama administration. To me that’s the most important struggle because the threat posed by a nuclear Iran is the threat of a nuclear holocaust.

However, the struggle in 1989-91 to stop the PLO and repeal Zionism is Racism was a long battle and we were successful at both of them. So in terms of accomplishment that is what I’m proudest of.
