Franco-Syrian Rapprochement Comes at Lebanon's Expense

Lebanon appeared this week to fit quite well into [Ehud Barak]'s zoological description. Being unable to overpower Syria and Hezbollah, Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora is being forced to pay the price of the possible Franco-Syrian rapprochement. Syrian President Bashar Assad is going to Paris on Saturday to attend French President Nicolas Sarkozy's initiative for a "Mediterranean Union." Some 45 countries, including Israel, are expected to attend this one-day event on July 13. Sarkozy wi...

Nuclear Bomb in 8 Years?

[Mohamed ElBaradei]'s appraisal of Iran's bomb-making potential matches that of U.S. intelligence, but the timing suggested he is taking a harder line on Iran than previously. Speaking to reporters at a conference on nuclear disarmament in Luxembourg, he urged Iran and the West to find a way to restart negotiations as soon as possible to avoid a "major confrontation." [George W. Bush] added that he intends to personally lobby Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, and China's leader, Hu Jintao."...

Better Than Nothing

North Korea's President Kim Jong Il offered to return to multinational disarmament talks that he had abandoned just before setting off an underground nuclear explosion and test-firing missiles to carry the nuclear warheads he hopes will result from his country's nuclear program. Reports from South Korea indicate that process is now almost fully operational, again. Mr. Kim now appears to be trying to force U.S. President Barack Obama into bilateral talks where North Korea would claim equal sta...

Fellow Philanthropists Urged to Keep Giving

"I'd rather be here than with a bunch of Nazis planning to kill people or at the Pentagon figuring who they're going to bomb next, Afghanistan or Iraq," [Ted Turner] said during his talk, presented as a conversation with Slate editor Jacob Weisberg. "At least we're bombing people with funds and goodwill. If our country used some of the same philosophy in this room, it would be a... better world than we're living in now."

Editorial - Un Bares Its Gums

This week, now in what seems to be its dotage, the UN faces another crisis in Korea and appears to be unable to do anything about it, despite the fact that the Security Council is unanimous in its opinion. No temper tantrums are needed. This new crisis was brought on by North Korea's underground testing of a nuclear bomb on Monday in defiance of previous UN demands that it cease its nuclear weapons development. As the world was still feeling the aftershocks of that explosion, North Korea's Pr...

Around the World

North Korea could shut down its nuclear reactor within three weeks and return to disarmament talks, a U.S. envoy said Saturday. Russia, meanwhile, said disputed funds have reached a North Korean account at a Russian bank, clearing a key hurdle in negotiations. The Yongbyon plutonium-producing reactor will be shut after the UN's nuclear watchdog and North Korea agree on how to monitor the process, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said after returning from a rare trip to the reclus...
