...where does North Korea's nuclear test and the resulting sanctions leave the Iran nuclear standoff? Iran gave its own answer to that question Friday, pouring uranium gas into a new cascade of centrifuges to be enriched as nuclear fuel, in defiance of U.N. demands that it suspend such activity. And Tehran's confidence in toughing out any threatened consequences will be reinforced by the divisions evident among the major powers as the U.S. and its European allies push for sanctions against Iran...

Such a provision would completely emasculate the treaty, destroying it in practice if not in theory.If the United States reserves for itself the right to suspend, or even limit, the Conventions, they become a charade. Other signatories are implicitly given permission to do the same, leaving the protections to be enforced only at the captors’ discretion. It is hypocrisy to claim that such legislation amounts to fulfilling our treaty obligations, which Bush adamantly maintains we intend...
