Amnesty for Insurgents? Yes. By Charles Krauthammer, Our objective in any war is not revenge but success. In Iraq, amnesty will necessarily be part of any co-optation strategy in which insurgents lay down their arms.
NYT Editorial A Victory for the Rule of Law Financial Times COMMENT: A summit that has already missed its big chance The question at July’s G8 summit will be whether the seven guests can persuade their host, Vladimir Putin, to reverse Russia’s drift toward authoritarianism, writes Strobe Talbott, former US deputy secretary of state.
COMMENT AND ANALYSIS: For now, at least, the west should play Iran at its game Everything about the social, political and cultural complexion of Iran points to its potential to emerge as a moderate, perhaps even pro-western, Muslim state, writes Philip Stephens.

Asia Times In Tehran, things just got more complex A new layer - a council on foreign affairs - has just been added to Iran's already complex foreign policy decision-making apparatus, which will do little to expedite a response to the six-nation nuclear proposals. Given the competing internal forces in play, a consensual decision was always going to be elusive anyway, and to attribute Tehran's slow response to "foot dragging" is sheer error. - Kaveh L Afrasiabi

Asia Times Why Iran is taking its time The six-nation package offered to Iran to resolve the nuclear standoff has Tehran in a quandary. A resolution of the crisis removes the threat of attack, but it also deprives the regime of much its legitimacy, which is vested in nationalistic foreign policy issues. With internal pressures - ethnic violence, strikes and student protests - mounting, it's little wonder Tehran is taking its time to respond to the nuclear overture. - Sanam Vakil

And Hamas's political agreement with Fatah this week is more a desire to end the western aid freeze rather than a true commitment to recognize Israel.
