...believes a breakthrough is imminent. Burns tells Time that the U.S. is close to winning a consensus in the Security Council for a second set of sanctions targeting arms sales and export credits to Iran. "They need to suspend their enrichment program before we will sit down and talk to them," he says. "That condition is well known to the Iranians, and we will stand by it." The opposition to Ahmadinejad has yet to coalesce into a political movement. But, says George Perkovich, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, "it has given internationalists in Iran...
...ambitious target, given the complexities of the nuclear issue alone. The six-party agreement calls for a carefully scripted process just to get the North to suspend activity at Yongbyon, which must be verified by U.N. inspectors. If that's achieved, the foreign ministers of the six nations will convene in Beijing to talk about the next stage: enticing the North to dismantle Yongbyon, rather than just idling it temporarily. In an interview with TIME, Hill says this week's talks included "extensive discussions [about] the next phase, which includes disabling the reactor" at Yongbyon, and he added that further...
...first coup in 15 years, Sonthi Boonyaratglin is projecting a deliberately civilian image. Dressed in a dapper dark suit and yellow tie, Sonthi eschewed his usual army uniform for his Feb. 27 meeting with TIME's Hannah Beech and Robert Horn.

Today, however, the CNS is increasingly under fire...

This trailer, from the makers of “Shaun of the Dead,” is so delightful that I’m willing to suspend my disbelief about England having anything more dangerous than hooligans knocking over dustbins in Herefordshire. Unlike most trailers, this one manages to be equal parts LOL-worthy and intriguing. I’m genuinely interested to see what the murder mystery is, even while I grin at the jokes about...
...phlegmatic, we might leap to the conclusion that if you want someone hanged right, don't leave it up to Shi?ites. But since we are groggy with antihistamines (and wouldn't mind getting rid of our own heads, the way they feel at the moment), we can suspend judgment. This thing of losing one's head may be an old Sunni gallows trick. As when Saddam - just by being so him - provoked his executioners into treating him with insufficient dignity. If you can't cheat the hangman, as the saying goes, you can at least make him look insensitive...
