...Talk to Iran The picture of U.S. envoy Dennis Ross as presented in "The Final Countdown" is frightening [June 15]. Ross should not have been placed in charge of dealings with Iran. His close connection with the largely anti-Iran organization American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is well known. Despite Obama's seeming change in course on Iran, Ross continues to endanger the U.S. and the Middle East by pursuing the hostile neoconservative agenda on Iran active in the Bush Administration.

...many calls on its resources, and Australia is a rich country that can help its allies by helping to look after itself. While in Perth, Rudd visited a navy base where the H.M.A.S.

Not content with presiding over the economic boom, then President (now Prime Minister) Vladimir Putin vowed to restore his country's great power status. Talk about a partnership with the West gave way to belligerent statements about a new Cold War. In the summer of 2008, Russian tanks trundled into Georgia. In early 2009, a dispute with neighboring Ukraine led Russia to cut off gas flows, leaving people in some European Union countries freezing and factories...
...disappointed Joe Klein spent only 10 days in Iran, mostly in and around Tehran, and wrote a story speculating that nearly 50% of the Iranian people voted for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He should have talked to us Iranians who travel all over Iran and know how detested Ahmadinejad is in most jurisdictions.
