TEHRAN, Iran - Iran said Tuesday it had invited the European Union and some other world powers - but apparently not chief critic the United States - to tour nuclear sites before the next round of international talks in late January on its disputed nuclear program.
The Associated Press reported the invitation to tour the facilities on Monday, citing a letter from a senior Iranian envoy that suggested Jan. 15-16 for the visit. A diplomat familiar with the letter said Iran invited Russia, China, Egypt, the group of nonaligned nations at the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency, Cuba, Arab League members at the IAEA and Hungary, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency.

Picture Berlin in late 1939 - a meeting between Adolf Hitler and Hideki Tojo, at which the German and Japanese strongmen declare their contempt for FDR and Churchill, their determination to hang on to their conquests in Czechslovakia, Poland and China, and voice their disdain for resolutions passed by the League of Nations. Picture Tojo beaming as he meets with a procession of German Brownshirts, members of the Romanian Iron Guard, Haj Amin al- Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Palestine and other neo-Nazi and Japanese collaborators, all of them mouthing platitudes about fascist "solidarity.

The headlines concerning the arrest and possible prosecution of Dominique Strauss-Kahn for alleged attempted rape brought the International Monetary Fund (IMF) into global focus. But the more important issue surrounding the IMF is how the downfall of its managing director may affect a continuation of the arrogant manner in which the IMF appears increasingly to have bullied certain of its member nations.
Following the success of the Allied invasion of Normandy and a probable German surrender, an embryonic United Nations of some 44 members held a conference in July 1944 at Bretton Woods, N.H. They were conscious of the competitive devaluations and inflations that followed World War I and their contribution to the Great Depression. Determined to avoid a similar situation following World Wa...

REMIND me, again, why we care about what the United Nations thinks? That question isn't prompted by the recent exertions of the Palestinians to achieve the facsimile of independence by asking the United Nations to tell them they are independent.
Palestinians deserve actual independence, as opposed to symbolic independence and actual misery, which is what the United Nations is selling.
