...government on Nauru has ever had to deliver to Parliament," according to Adeang, it will impose big spending cuts and new fees, including a 10% customs duty on all but basic food imports. The aim is to end successive budget deficits by 2005-06 - an ambitious goal that will depend on finding new revenue sources. Secondary mining of phosphate deposits may be possible, but delayed trials have never gone ahead. To make matters worse, the government was last week told that the island's neglected mooring facilities require substantial repair. The only economic cheer comes from the asylum-seeker processing...

"But except for encouraging eastern separatism, he does not have a lever to work." For now, Putin must wait like everyone else for the outcome of the election.

Still, the primary component of the administration's preferred strategy for curbing Iran and North Korea's nuclear ambitions is to use sanctions to make the cost of going nuclear prohibitive to regimes whose survival depends on integration with the world economy. But the U.S. hardly trades with Iran or North Korea, so a meaningful sanctions regime requires winning allied backing. Yet, right now, most of the key allies on whose support a sanctions regime would depend are not on board with the Bush administration...
