Yet somehow we persist in believing the opposite. Just weeks ago, U.S. President George W. Bush famously remarked, "I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing (Iran) from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. Does Bush stop to think how arrogant the words "preventing them from having the knowledge" sound in the rest of the world? He controls the planet's largest nuclear arsenal, well in excess of 10,000 warheads, and leads the only nation to have ever used atomic weapons in war. In the words of [William Langewiesche], the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which seeks to stop the spread of nukes, also "enshrines" a "discriminatory nuclear order." It says, in essence, that the existing...

It's almost 20 years since the original reason for NATO's creation, the Soviet Union, disappeared, but there is still a queue of countries clamouring to join. Croatia and Albania will become NATO's 27th and 28th members at this summit, and there are half a dozen more countries waiting at the gates. Since the Cold War ended 20 years ago, every former eastern European satellite of the old Soviet Union has joined NATO, together with the three westernmost republics of the Soviet Union itself (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). This has caused much distress in Moscow, which thought NATO had promised not to expand into eastern Europe if it freed the satellites. But the promise was never put on paper, and the Russians have taken NATO's expansion reasonably well in the circumstances. There is litt...

The Free Press editorially faults the Nobel committee for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama before he has achieved "tangible results" (Nobel taints prize, Oct. 10). But you ignore a recent major step of Obama toward world peace: He reversed ex-president Bush's program to build anti-Iranian missiles with missile bases in Poland, which Putin viewed as a grievous Cold War offence against Russia. Following Obama's reversal, Russia offered international co-operation for possible sanctions against Iran, after which Ahmadinejad conceded foreign inspection of Iran's newly exposed underground nuclear facility. For the present at least, the likelihood of Israel going to war against Iran by bombing its potential nuclear-bomb sites is postponed. Obama deserves credit for this. Whether ...
