Meanwhile in Iran

John Kerry finally breaks the taboo in Washington to say what everyone already knows. Under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful, civilian energy purposes. The Bush administration's lame attempt to unilaterally revise the NPT to forbid Iran from this capability just made the US a laughingstock in the international community.

Oh, I think Mr. Bush may have only polished our international reputation to a fine sheen. At any rate, Iran votes today – Ahmadinejad may be out.

The political and commercial morals of the United States are not merely food for laughter, they are an entire banquet. --Mark Twain
