...over Iraq's weapons programs. But Secretary of State Colin Powell has been a strong advocate of demanding that Iraq submit to renewed inspections, along with such key international allies as Britain's prime minister Tony Blair. President Bush's comments after meeting congressional leaders in Washington on Wednesday suggest he may have signed on to the idea of using his September 12 U.N. address to deliver an ultimatum to Baghdad to unconditionally readmit weapons inspectors by a prescribed deadline, or else face the consequences...
...South Africa for the event. Indeed, the Johannesburg summit was originally intended as a followup to the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, whose lofty proclamations went the way of most lofty proclamations. The perennial failure of such summits to produce meaningful programs of action has prompted some observers to suggest that summitry itself may begin to breed cynicism.

They tend to see the continuation of a low-intensity war between Israel and the Palestinians as representing little threat to U.S. interests or regional stability, and like Sharon and Bibi Netanyahu, the Bush administration hawks tend...
...peace initiatives that involve confronting settlers in the West Bank and Gaza. And he knows that the domestic politics of an election year all but preclude Washington from nudging him back towards talking to the Palestinians. Triangulating the positions of the Israelis, the Arabs and Capitol Hill suggest coalition-building could be a long and arduous process, one hardly conducive to quick action against Saddam...
