...sharing deal with General Pervez Musharraf, who seized power in a coup, have dimmed voter enthusiasm for her party, as have her statements that she would allow U.S. military strikes against terrorists in Pakistan, and would make nuclear proliferator (and national hero) A.Q. Khan available for questioning by the IAEA. Pakistan's parliament votes for a President on October 6, and the increasingly embattled Musharraf desperately needs the support of Bhutto's party. She, in turn, wants the corruption charges - which she dismisses as baseless and politically motivated - dropped before her return. On Tuesday, government officials agreed "in principle...
...backing down, it runs the risk of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Iranians tend to harden their positions in response to threats, and the sense of urgency being engendered by the U.S. and its closest allies is not shared by the international community - the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has found no evidence of a covert nuclear weapons program in Iran, and has reached an agreement with Tehran to address a number of specific concerns over aspects of Iran's nuclear activity at the center of the standoff. That agreement has been pilloried in the U.S., and IAEA chief...
...Clearly, the U.N. process is not going to yield the results desired by the U.S. and its allies any time soon. The latest Iran-IAEA agreement has sharply diminished chances of the U.N. Security Council approving any further sanctions against Iran this fall, and the French call for unilateral European sanctions has been rebuffed by Italy (Iran's largest European trading partner) and sharply criticized by Russia.

...North Korea on its word, considering the North’s proclivity towards breaking promises. Consider the history: Pledging to pursue nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, the North signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty in 1985, yet it didn’t allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into the country until 1992. When inspectors demanded greater access to the nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, the communist leadership blustered that the IAEA was the U.S.’s poodle and kicked inspectors out of the country.Despite the North’s past transgressions, the recent February deal seems...
...that is the foundation for the deal, and requires an annual White House certification that India's foreign policy aligns with that of the U.S. The leftists are still angry that the U.S. pressured India into voting against Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting last year. In the name of sovereignty, they want to end talks with the IAEA and the Nuclear Suppliers Group that would finalize the deal. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's reaction was a firm no. "Our government is committed to the development of nuclear energy," he insisted. The deal is especially crucial...
