closer to the world's last superpower and dramatically alter Asia's balance
of power. But the deal, President Bush's last, best chance for a positive
legacy in international affairs, seems to have gone out with a whimper. Talkin’

Big Question: What is the new French defence strategy, and should we follow
suit? Russia Insists on Treating Sevastapol as an Open Question
By: Pavel K. Baev | Eurasia Daily Monitor There is certainly far more to the
Sevastopol problem than just the physical difficulty of moving the fleet, and
Russian politicians, from Dmitri Rogozin to Yuri Luzhkov to Sergei Ivanov,
have been arguing passionately during the last couple of months that there is
not only no place but also no need to abandon the base at Sevastopol Asia Times Myth-makers caught in oil
speculation Nuclear find raises the ante against Iran
There is no evidence that Iran has got hold of electronic blueprints for an
advanced nuclear weapon recently found on computers belonging to the
proliferation network once run by the father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons
program, Abdul Qadeer Khan. All the same, the discovery of the blueprints
comes at a bad time for Iran as it gives the United States cause to intensify
its brinkmanship against the country. - Ehsan Ahrari The great land
grab At the core of the George W Bush administration's negotiations with
Baghdad over the US's long-term presence in Iraq is the issue of bases. Over
the past few years they have surged to over 100 in number at the cost of many
billions of dollars. Whatever the outcome of the talks, the bases will still
be there when the next administration hits Washington, whether the Iraqis
like it or not. - Tom Engelhardt An exit
