Commentary magazine, “widely regarded as the leading outlet for neoconservative writing,” held its first annual dinner this week in honor of its former editor-in-chief Norman Podhoretz.

Mr. Bolton started with historical examples of when regime change would have been desirable. He quoted Churchill as saying, "We should have strangled Bolshevism in its cradle." Mr. Bolton asked, "Is there any doubt that the right moral and political move would have been to assassinate Hitler?" He also supported regime change in Iraq in the immediate aftermath of the first Persian Gulf War, and in Afghanistan in the late 1990s.
