...politician's gauge in the competition for who is the biggest Iraqi nationalist. Indeed, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki this week approved a referendum on the U.S.-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). If approved by parliament, it would be on the same ballot as candidates in the parliamentary elections set for January. SOFA has thus far reduced U.S. control over key areas - such as Baghdad's Green Zone - and prohibited U.S. forces from entering Iraqi cities in most circumstances.

...continues its violent fight is more chilling. "From ETA's own internal communications we know that they themselves can no longer justify the violence," he says. "They realize they're not going to get negotiations. They realize they're not going to radicalize the [mainstream] Basque Nationalist Party. They have no theory of violence anymore.

...nationalize Iran's oil sector but was toppled in a U.S.-backed coup that restored the Shah to power. Unlike the 1906 and 1979 revolutions, which wanted to change the existing regime entirely (the first wanted a constitutional monarchy; the latter, a republic), the main aim of the nationalist movement surrounding Mossadegh was to fulfill the promises of the earlier struggles: real (not just formal) independence from colonial powers and democratic representation of the people.
