U.S. Is Debating Talks With Iran on Nuclear Issue (NYT)
Iraq Official Says Iran Has Right to Atomic Power Goal (NYT)
I won't bore your with too much of this domestic stuff, but the Republican meltdown continues:
Immigration Issue Splits the GOP (WaPo)
Gonzales Said He Would Quit in Raid Dispute (NYT)
The first of these pits the law-and-order Republicans against the business Republicans, and the second pits the congressional Republicans against the executive branch Republicans. The first of these splits has been developing for some time; the second is what is really new: a party of iron-clad discipline among electred officilas is coming apart at the seams. The second is also profoundly ironic from a political perspective. As David Brooks observed, William Jefferson handed the Republicans a huge political prize: a Democratic corruption scandal without any scintilla of ambiguity. Yet within one news cycle, the Republicans led by Dennis Hastert had taken that issue right off the front page and turned the news story into one about an interncine sturggle between Republicnas over the powers and perogatives of the excutive and legislative branches. Karl Rove has to be just shaking his head.
Update: I just ran across this in the WSJ: Fighting Words It is a list of a former Marine's favorite books on the military.
I have read (and loved) 3 and 5 on this list, so the rest may be good as well. But the real reason I include this here was that it led me to wonder how hard it is for you to get books. If you ever think of something you want, let us know and we will try to send it to you. In this reagrd, as well, see the list here.
