Resolutions amount to declaration of war


By Maya Schenwar and Matt Renner
Friday, 07.04.2008, 11:32pm

Non-binding resolutions in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to demand that President Bush impose "stringent inspection requirements" on trade with Iran — language that leaves the door open for a military blockade — will likely come to a vote this week or next, according to sources close to Congressional leadership. The House legislation, H.Con.Res.362, which is paralleled by a similar Senate bill, has gained bipartisan support rapidly, with more co-sponsors signing on by the day. Once it hits the floor, it's bound to "pass like a hot knife through butter," a staffer in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office told Chelsea Mozen of the nonprofit Just Foreign Policy.

Jordan wants to go nuclear


By Reuel S. Amdur - The Arab American News
Friday, 07.04.2008, 11:55pm

Israel has the bomb. Iran wants nuclear energy for power, allegedly, though it is sitting on a sea of oil.  Syria is trying to join the club.  Now Jordan wants in.  Just for peaceful purposes, for electricity and desalination of water, according to Khalid Touqan, chairman of the Jordan Atomic Energy Commission, though it would be naïve to believe that Jordan is not looking over its shoulder at Iran.

By Reuel S. Amdur - The Arab American News

Muasher has a hard row to hoe, as a moderate, a democrat, and a peacemaker in the turbulence of the Middle East.  This is his memoir as a Jordanian career civil servant and diplomat.  It is a book that offers fascinating insight into the actors in Middle Eastern politics and, as well, into the making of U.S. foreign policy for the region.
