...IAEA assembly passed a second resolution that couched the same objective in much more engaging language: a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone (NWFZ) for the Middle East. Though the idea of a NWFZ for the region has been around since the 1970s, it has largely been the preserve of leftist groups like Greenpeace or a tool for pressuring Israel, the only Middle East nation believed to have nuclear weapons. But not only was the latest NFWZ resolution supported by Israel; it could also provide a tool for defusing the conflict over Iran's nuclear program. (See pictures of the world...
...Organization of American States (OAS), which this summer expelled Honduras in response to the coup, reiterated its support for Arias' efforts. But it's clear that Chávez and the Latin leftist bloc known as ALBA (the Spanish initialism for the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas, named after South American independence hero Simón Bolívar) have grown impatient with the U.S.- and OAS-led negotiation process. After Zelaya's ouster, ALBA crafted its own proclamation calling for his unconditional return and encouraging Hondurans to revolt against Micheletti.

Some days "they" are the network of leftist community organizers known as ACORN - and his indictment of the group is looking stronger every day. But he also spins yarns of less substance. He tells his viewers that Obama's volunteerism efforts are really an attempt to create a "civilian national-security force that is just as strong, just...
...Movie buffs might appreciate this, because when Beck gets rolling on a particularly emotional riff, when the tears glisten and the shoulders shudder, Paddy Chayefsky, the great leftist playwright, looks like a prophet. He's the man who coined the phrase that, according to Luntz, is the rare thing Americans can agree on. He gave the line to Howard Beale, the mad anchorman at the center of the dark satire Network...
