years ago, as the scale of the Iraq war calamity became apparent, I interviewed John Bolton, who had been George W. Bush’s Ambassador to the UN. Bolton refused to answer many of my questions, and I can understand why, given the shambles he advocated. Now he is back as President Trump’s National Security Adviser. This is terrifying. Bolton is determined to make war on Iran, and we should all feel very afraid. Theresa May should learn from Tony Blair’s calamitous premiership and make clear that, unlike him, she will have nothing to do with American adventurism overseas.
