03/10/10: The Washington Post reports that Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon will meet with senior US officials this week to emphasize Israel's growing displeasure with the slow pace of diplomacy on Iran at the UN Security Council, according to a senior Israeli official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of diplomatic sensitivity. The Obama administration has signaled that after a year of outreach to Iran, it would get tough in 2010, promising "crippling sanctions."
03/10/10: The Miami Herald reports that the two "bad options" for Iran - letting the country develop nuclear weapons or using force to destroy its nuclear capabilities - are closer than they were a year ago, Israel's UN ambassador warned Tuesday. Gabriela Shalev told journalists at the UN Israel still hopes diplomatic engagement and sanctions will halt Iran's push to become a nuclear power, but warned: "our intelligence tells us ... that Iran is racing towards this kind of nuclear capability, and it's not a matter of years."

03/08/10: The Miami Herald reports that President Barack Obama praised the Iraqi people for passing ``an important milestone'' Sunday, when millions turned out for national elections despite insurgent attacks that killed more than 30 people. No doubt relieved that violence was not worse, Obama said Iraqi security forces showed maturing capabilities as they protected Iraq through a day that was ripe for attacks by Sunni Muslim insurgents and al Qaeda in Iraq.
03/08/10: The New York Times reports that the scratchy loudspeakers of muezzins that once preached resistance to the American occupation implored Sunni Arabs to defy bombs and vote Sunday. They did, in a landmark election that demonstrated how far Iraq has come and perhaps how far it has to go. The droves of Sunni Arab residents casting ballots in towns like Falluja promised to redraw Iraq’s political landscape. The turnout delivered Sunnis their most articulated voice yet on the national stage, seven years after the American-led invasion ended their dominance.
