...possible challenges of such an initiative must follow the flighty rhetoric before we can conclude that the oil president has turned over a new, green leaf. No single agenda would addresses as many core U.S. strategic issues as a revamped energy policy. Achieving energy independence could at once un-muddy U.S. foreign policy and curtail potentially irreversible damage to the environment through the use of emission-free renewable, nuclear, or clean coal energy sources. Moreover, investment in the area in the long run would stimulate economic growth by creating new jobs and putting the U.S. back on the cutting edge...
...Israel's 1981 strike on Iraq ignited a diplomatic bonfire, as the U.S., Europe, and the UN Security Council all condemned the operation. But in the years since, many Western observers have conceded that the pre-emptive strike, which set back Baghdad's nuclear weapons program by years, was justified-especially given Saddam's subsequent warmongering and readiness to use non-conventional weapons.

On the table was a resolution introduced by Britain, France and Germany, calling on the IAEA to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for what it calls Iran's "many failures and breaches of its obligations" under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The resolution notes that Iran's history of concealment of certain nuclear activities has produced an "absence of confidence that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes...
