Asia Times IRAN AND THE US TALK Now, that wasn't so bad ...
Even allowing for diplomatic obfuscation, the talks between the United States and Iran on Iraq appear to have made progress. The best course now is to adopt an experimental, trial-and-error approach to making the Iraqi government more stable and powerful. In the broader picture, though, Iran's "sphere of influence" politics and the United States' interventionist policies will continue to collide in the absence of a broad strategic agreement on regional matters. - Kaveh L Afrasiabi

SPENGLER Why Iran will fight, not compromise Massive inflation, even more massive unemployment especially among the nation's young, and official economic statistics so distressing that the president insists they are fabricated by his political enemies - that is the sad story of today's Iran. There are very few ways out of this mess, and the most likely scenario is a new Persian imperial adventure.

UPI Analysis: Bush offering a withdrawal date?

Messing Up the Mullahs By: Peter Brookes | New York Post
According to a news account supposedly based on a leak from inside the government, President Bush recently signed off on a classified intelligence "finding," authorizing the CIA to undertake a non-lethal covert-action program to destabilize Iran's nearly out-of-control government. If true, it's about time.

On the one side is Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army, on the other Abdul Aziz al-Hakim and the Badr Organization. And in the middle lie Iran and the US.

A just-released US study on China's military buildup is actually an analysis of a doctrinal text prepared for the People's Liberation Army, and merely succeeds in underscoring the fact that the alleged "advances" in China's military capabilities are things that the US itself accomplished long ago, during the Cold War.

However, beyond their purported social function, the laws appear politically motivated, aimed at depriving the country's opposition from gaining funding from major alcohol producers in what, until very recently, was a largely unregulated local industry.

What they have said about Foreign Press Review
"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."
