...inspection but for outside pressure, including U.S. forces," Blix said. He reminded his listeners that neither France nor the European Union as a whole had ruled out the use of military action to compel disarmament. And when questioned as to whether he would ask the Iraqis to dismantle or destroy their al-Samoud missiles, whose range, his experts had determined, breached permissible limits, Blix replied, "Of course." The next day, in a detailed letter, he instructed Baghdad to start the process of destroying those missiles--together with ancillary equipment and related software--by March...
...Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics R. John Collier is one of the nation’s foremost anthrax researchers. He worked on anthrax for years before white powder in the mail became a national obsession. New federal laws regulating research on things such as anthrax led Collier to destroy his only samples of anthrax to “avoid attracting terrorists and more of the press than I wanted,” he told The New York Times in December. Collier’s case is just one example of how new restrictions and uncertainty can affect important research...
...Shakespeare might write today, "Is this a Balrog I see before me?" HE IS PROUD of his film record, and strongly believes in The X-Men's social agenda. "It's about what you do if you're different.

...looks like war is near. What's less clear: whether a U.S.-led attack on Iraq will be authorized by the United Nations. Iraq's decision to comply with the UN inspectors' demand to destroy its al-Samoud 2 missiles has strengthened the resolve of those at the Security Council arguing that inspections be given more time. The U.S., Britain and Spain are lobbying for a resolution proclaiming Iraq in "material breach" of Resolution 1441, opening the way to war. But France, Germany, Russia and China are backing a counter proposal to give inspectors more time to pursue peaceful disarmament...
...report back again on or soon after March 1 - in the middle of the two weeks of debate on the new resolution envisaged by Britain and the U.S. - the al-Samoud 2 test therefore becomes a crucial indicator. If Blix tells the Council that Iraq is refusing to destroy a prohibited weapon, that may put the kibosh on calls to give the inspection process more time. But an Iraqi decision to destroy the missiles under UN supervision could have the reverse effect, providing more ammunition for France, Germany and Russia to argue that inspections be given more time.
