t a militarily complex and politically controversial campaign involving a full-blown, and unprovoked, attack on Iran will at best lengthen the time Tehran needs to build the bomb, rather than making it impossible for it to do so. So Netanyahu's first problem is that his assertions that Israel will do

The administration of President Francois Hollande is not known for its decisiveness on the domestic front. Vacillation accompanies economic drift. But, perhaps in compensation, it has shown a resol

It is inappropriate to attribute this consensus to the prodding of pro-Israeli EFTA00636678 groups. Amer

She led the way among Western powers to intervene in Libya in order to oust Muammar Khaddafi. She has pushed the hardest line of all Western power

Sarkozy. Another leading figure, Bernard-Henri Levy, played a formidable pressure role on governmental politics under Sarkozy and still does under Hollande. The greater explanation however may be external—the role France thinks it can still play on the world scene. Ever since 1945, France has strived t

A deal with Tehran will require the support of Russia, which happens to be hosting the next round of negotiations. Russia, in turn, is opposed to forcing Assad, a lon
