Miami Herald A debate is heating up inside Iraq -- and inside Washington --
that will shape America's relationship with Iraq under the next president.
The debate is over a status of forces agreement (SOFA), a broad strategic
framework that will define the long-term role of the U.S. military in Iraq. How Iran would retaliate if it comes to war

Richard Weitz | World Politics Review A delegation from the International
Atomic Energy Agency will visit Syria next week to assess recent American
claims that the installation attacked by Israeli warplanes last year was
indeed a nuclear reactor in the final stages of construction. Daily Star In
an editorial, the paper argues that while it is fair to attribute much of the
Arab predicament to outside meddling, there is no excuse for regional ruling classes that have been
almost completely devoid of genuine leadership for a generation Hasan Suroor examines al-Qaeda's declining
fortunes in Iraq and asks whether Islamism is running out of steam. Conversation

giants return to Iraq Nearly four decades after the four biggest Western
oil companies were expelled from Iraq by Saddam Hussein, they are negotiating
their return. By the end of the month, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil and
Total will sign agreements with the Baghdad government, Iraq's first with big
Western oil firms since the US-led invasion in 2003. Why Iraq won't
be South Korea Bush's
last call in Iraq is an agreement that would create a US-style consumer
society in the Mesopotamian sands, a demilitarized client state under benign
US protection. Better yet, it could be like a 21st century version of the
South Korean "tiger" miracle. The problem is, Iraqis aren't buying
into it. And without an agreement, and a new US-friendly Iraqi oil law,
Bush's US$3 trillion Iraq adventure will have been for nothing. - Pepe
Escobar Middle East serves US some humble pie
A series of regionally negotiated settlements - most recently the Hamas and
Israel ceasefire - has cast doubt on the United States' cherished role as the
grandmaster of the Middle East chessboard. It may be too early to call the
Middle East the graveyard of Pax Americana, but it will be up to the possible
Barack Obama administration to ensure the American voice is heard again in
the region, not due to fear of attack but respect for its wisdom. - Sreeram

Darren Bush, Harry First and John J. Flynn OPEC may call itself an
"organization," but everyone knows that it is, pure and simple, a
cartel that manipulates markets, restricts output and fixes prices. The
United States and the European Union have vigorously prosecuted other
multinational cartels for doing the same thing McCain's
terror errors Rosa Brooks: McCain used to champion a
common-sense, values-based approach to terrorism. Now he's criticizing Obama
