President Obama has nominated his former National Security Council aide Samantha Power to replace Susan Rice as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
Obama’s choice of UN ambassador to UN calls for "mammoth protection force", re-allocation of aide to "new state of Palestine".
She is the wife of Obama's former Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, author of The Nudge and a scientific paper on the strategic advantages of smearing political opponents as 'conspiracy theorists'. Power started her career as a 22-year-old freelance reporter in Bosnia. She is a staunch advocate for intervention on moral grounds (Responsibility to protect guided by the ethics of Just War Theory).
