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.
