...Sore Centralismo The product of Jakarta's suburbs and the American education system, the twenty-something members of Sore have the uniquely Indonesian capacity to sound optimistically world-weary.

Iran has been adamant about its enrichment program all along. Any talks that posit the termination of Iran's enrichment program as a necessary goal are likely to fail. For Iran, the optimal outcome of talks with the EU would...
