Bolton: Iran Won't Give Up Nuke Ambition

NEW YORK -- President Bush's former envoy to the United Nations says
using military force against Iran would be preferable to allowing the
country to acquire nuclear weapons.

John Bolton gained a reputation for speaking out during his 17 months
as U.S. ambassador to the world body. But his remarks Tuesday night
were some of his boldest yet, especially concerning Tehran.

"I believe that ultimately the only real prospect of getting Iran to give
up nuclear weapons is to change the regime," Bolton told reporters
after an off-the-record speech to the Hudson Institute, a nonpartisan
policy research organization.

How should this be done?

"By the force of the Iranian people themselves," Bolton replied. "But if
the alternative is a nuclear Iran, as unpleasant as the use of military
force would be, I think the prospect of a nuclear Iran is worse."
