I don't know how you negotiate with the irrational.
GETTING DUMBER… Squid is rather brilliant, as mollusks go, so Squid is

sorry to hear fellow smartypants Max Perelman is off the Pacific Grove
Planning Commission. Perelman was appointed last year by then-mayor Dan
Cort, who had taken the double-degreeing, Chinese – and Japanese-
speaking MIIS grad student under his wing as an intern.
Squid’s birdies say Perelman was a team player on the commission, bringing thoughtful insight to the gig and keeping his
game face through meetings that often dragged into the night. But when Perelman’s reappointment – usually just a
formality – came up in early February, Mayor-on-a-Coin-Toss Carmelita Garcia decided to kick him off the commission
with nary a heads-up or thank-you.
Squid will look past the fact that Garcia and Cort didn’t seem to get along, and that Garcia seems bent on undoing just
about everything Cort did as mayor. Squid will not let the dismissal of an international green builder bolster Squid’s
suspicions that Garcia has a disdain for all things eco. But if P.G. isn’t already mistaken for a retirement community, Squid
thinks it’s a dang shame Garcia chose to axe one of P.G.’s few civic volunteers under 35 – a dad to two baby girls, first-
time homeowner and entrepreneur. No word on the deal from Garcia, who responds to media queries about as often as a
coin lands tails up four times in a row.
DOWNGRADE PART DEUX… Squid is also nothing if not sensitive. But it is with even poutier lips than normal that Squid
reports this latest dent in the armor of county journalism: Carmel Magazine Executive Editor Brett Wilbur was just
downsized. This particularly tenderizes Squid’s soft heart because Wilbur was a longtime Weekly contributor, staff writer
and associate editor before taking the reins at CM from fellow Weekly alum Ryan Masters, who assumed the position
after then-editor Scott Brown was busted for lifting whole passages from the Sacramento Bee and slapping his byline on
them.
Her coups here included an award-winning contribution to a series on Salinas’ Census Track 7 to unwrapping the
intolerant wrath of Reverend William J. Martin of St. John’s Chapel in Monterey, so it pained Squid to see her trade that
fare for commentary on resort destinations and carpet colors at Carmel. (Squid was always partial to taupe.) But she was
good for the glossy.
Though Wilbur will continue to write freelance, Publisher Steve Snider will run the now-tiny editorial operation with in-
house help from just his wife-photog-editorial layout chief Kelli Uldall and a graphic designer. Without Wilbur at the helm,
Squid predicts the already-fluffy mag will grow fluffier than the Aquarium’s newly rescued otter pup.

Lee, who lived in Hong Kong for four and a half years in his

with his sense of hitting a limitation when he graduated from
college, majoring in English education.

to not only English but also other languages such as German
and Chinese. I also studied Japanese in college, and enjoyed

realized I should learn more to become an English teacher," Lee said.
Lee's choice was to attend a simultaneous interpretation and translation school -- not in Korea but in the United States. He
went to the Monterey Institute of International Studies, California, and even served as the college's student council president.
"My idea was that studying translation and interpretation would boost my English competence, and since the field requires
high levels of fluency in both Korean and English, I think the courses helped me a lot when I entered the English education
field," he said.
The interpretation and translation school curriculum was challenging, but rewarding because he not only expanded his
horizon as a future interpreter but also acquired a key learning technique -- active reading.
Lee said he set aside one and a half hours reading newspapers early each morning, which was part of his active reading
sessions. Plenty of immersive reading helped him collect new expressions that he wanted to use for actual situations.
Active reading, Lee said, is a process in which learners recognize useful

expressions in text and then try to appreciate their usage and practice
them repeatedly. Using the technique favored by interpretation school
students also helps. For instance, the learner reads an English
newspaper article on a given topic such as a nuclear power plant, and
highlights key expressions. Writing down those expressions in a
separate notebook is also effective. And then finally reading a Korean
newspaper article on the same subject, this time trying to sum up the
content in English while trying to recall and use the expressions from

Lee said a thematic approach also matters when it comes to English
speaking. Dealing with diverse topics through active reading paves the
way for boosting the learner's speaking skills that can be readily applied

Lee also recommended that students should focus on memorizing entire
sentences rather than vocabulary items. "Some students still favor
memorizing vocabulary items separately but I think memorizing sentences is much more effective for improving speaking
competence," he said.

Russian Nuclear Threshold Not Lowered http://www.armscontrol.org/print/4104
Published on Arms Control Association (http://www.armscontrol.org)
Arms Control Today > March 2010 > Russian Nuclear Threshold Not Lowered > Russian Nuclear Threshold Not
Lowered
Volha Charnysh
Excerpts From Russia’s 2010 Military Doctrine
Contradicting earlier statements by a Russian official, Moscow’s new military doctrine, approved by President Dmitry
Medvedev Feb. 5, does not elevate the role of nuclear weapons in the country’s national security policy. According to
the document, nuclear weapons are reserved for “preventing the occurrence of nuclear wars and military conflicts
with the use of conventional weapons (large-scale war, regional war).”
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev told Izvestia in an October 2009 interview that the new
doctrine would significantly lower Russia’s nuclear threshold by assigning nuclear weapons to “local conflicts” and
providing for pre-emptive nuclear strikes. (See ACT, December 2009.)
The new doctrine, which is to guide Russian policy through 2020, assigns nuclear weapons to large-scale and regional
wars. That was also true of its 2000 predecessor, but in sharp contrast with the 1993 doctrine, which assigned nuclear
weapons exclusively to global war. The 2010 document states that, “[i]n the case of a military conflict with the use of
conventional weapons (large-scale war, regional war) that threatens the very existence of the state, the possession of
nuclear weapons could lead to the escalation of such military conflict into nuclear war.”
According to Article 22 of the new doctrine, “Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use
of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and (or) its allies, as well as in response to
aggression against the Russian Federation that utilizes conventional weapons that threatens the very existence of the
state.”
The wording of this provision is very close to that in the 2000 doctrine. However, where the 2000 version allows the
use of nuclear weapons “in situations critical to the national security of the Russian Federation,” the 2010 version
says they can be used in response to an attack that “threatens the very existence of the state.”
The new language slightly tightens the criterion for the use of nuclear weapons, according to Nikolai Sokov, a former
Soviet and Russian foreign ministry official who is now a senior research associate at the Center for Nonproliferation
Studies in Monterey, Calif.
In a Feb. 20 e-mail to Arms Control Today, Sokov said that “[t]he 2000 doctrine foresaw use of nuclear weapons in
situations that were serious, but not necessarily life-or-death.” Threats to territorial integrity, for example, or “a
large-scale air campaign à la Kosovo” could still trigger a nuclear response from Moscow, he said.
In 1999, in the midst of the Kosovo conflict, NATO conducted a bombing campaign against Yugoslavia without a
mandate from the United Nations. Ten years later, the Republic of Kosovo declared independence from Serbia.
The 2010 doctrine “reserves nuclear weapons for situations that are more serious” than a hypothetical situation in
which NATO conducts an operation in Chechnya similar to the Kosovo war and defeats Russia, Sokov said. In such a
situation, Russia might be “humiliated, defeated, weakened”, but its “existence as a state is not at stake,” he said.
1 of 4 3/22/2010 12:35 PM
The new doctrine has fewer paragraphs on the use of nuclear weapons. Within the framework of strategic deterrence,
it provides for the use of high-precision conventional weapons. The document states that the decision to use nuclear
weapons is reserved for the Russian president, a provision that was not in its predecessor.
The additional emphasis on conventional weapons in the new doctrine was “an admission that nuclear weapons are
not very usable” and that “deterrence based on usable weapons is much more efficient,” Sokov said. He said the
document “makes it even more clear that tactical nuclear weapons simply do not have a role.”
Pavel Podvig of Stanford University’s Center for International Security and Cooperation said in a Feb. 15 interview
that the doctrine might have turned out more “reasonable” than expected because of the backlash generated by
Patrushev’s comments last year. Patrushev’s interview “showed the importance of openness in deliberations of this
kind,” he said.
Dmitry P. Gorenburg, senior analyst with the CNA Corporation and an associate of Harvard University’s Davis
Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, suggested two other possible reasons for the absence of the provisions
Patrushev mentioned. Patrushev could have represented only one of many viewpoints in the Kremlin’s internal
deliberations, or Russia could have wanted to “maintain more cordial relations” with the United States as the
negotiations on a strategic arms treaty draw to a close, he said.
NATO Seen as Main Threat
The first external threat to Russia listed in the new doctrine is “the goal of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) to arrogate to itself the assumption of global functions in violation of international law, and to expand the
military infrastructure of NATO nations to Russia’s borders including through expansion of the bloc,” according to the
2010 doctrine. However, Article 19 of the document mentions Russia’s readiness to cooperate with NATO and the
European Union. Reacting to the reference to NATO as a threat, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen
told Reuters Feb. 6 that the doctrine did not reflect the real world and that “NATO is not an enemy of Russia.”
Although the 2000 doctrine never mentioned NATO explicitly, it similarly named “the expansion of military blocs and
alliances to the detriment of the Russian Federation’s military security” as one of the main external threats to Russia.
However, in the list of threats, that one came after such threats as
territorial claims against the Russian Federation; interference in the Russian Federation’s internal affairs;
attempts to ignore (infringe) the Russian Federation’s interests in resolving international security problems, and to
oppose its strengthening as one influential center in a multipolar world; the existence of seats of armed conflict,
primarily close to the Russian Federation’s state border and the borders of its allies; the creation (buildup) of
groups of troops (forces) leading to the violation of the existing balance of forces, close to the Russian
Federation’s state border and the borders of its allies or on the seas adjoining their territories.
Other important threats to Russia, according to the 2010 doctrine, are
[t]he establishment and deployment of strategic missile defense systems that undermine global stability and
violate the balance of forces in the nuclear field, as well as the militarization of outer space and the deployment
of strategic non-nuclear systems precision weapons,…attempts to destabilize the situation in individual states and
regions and undermine strategic stability,…[and] the deployment (expansion) of military contingents of foreign
states (and groups of states) on territories neighboring Russia and its allies, as well as in adjacent waters.
Toward the end of the list, Russia also mentions threats such as the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,
missiles, and missile technology; the violation of international agreements; and international terrorism.
The doctrine is hardly “the Bible of [Russia’s] military and political leadership,” Podvig said. Unlike Washington,
Moscow has never had “a tradition to use doctrine as a real guidance.” Decisions are made “in the heat of the
moment,” he said.

Pakistani scientist Khan describes Iranian efforts to buy nuclear bombs http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/13/AR...
By R. Jeffrey Smith and Joby Warrick

Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, March 14, 2010; A14
The father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program has

written an official account that details an Iranian
attempt to buy atomic bombs from Pakistan at the end
of the 1980s.
Bombmaker Abdul Qadeer Khan states in documents

obtained by The Washington Post that in lieu of
weapons, Pakistan gave Iran bomb-related drawings,
parts for centrifuges to purify uranium and a secret worldwide list of suppliers. Iran's centrifuges, which are
viewed as building blocks for a nuclear arsenal, are largely based on models and designs obtained from
Pakistan.
Khan's narrative calls into question Iran's long-standing stance that it has not sought nuclear arms. Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said last month that "we won't do that because we don't believe in having
them."
The account also conflicts with the Pakistani government's assertion that Khan proliferated nuclear
know-how without government approval.
Pakistan has never disclosed Khan's written account. A summary of interrogations of Khan and four others in
2004, conducted by Pakistan's intelligence service and later provided to U.S. and allied intelligence officials,
omitted mention of the attempt to buy a nuclear bomb. But Pakistan's former top military official in 2006
publicly hinted at it.
In interviews, two military officers whom Khan links to the bargaining with Iran denied that finished nuclear
weapons were ever on the table. Spokesmen for Iran's mission to the United Nations and the Pakistani
Embassy in Washington did not respond to requests to comment.
However, a top Pakistani government official at the time said Ali Shamkhani, the senior Iranian military
officer named by Khan, came to Islamabad, Pakistan, seeking help on nuclear weapons. The former official
also said Khan, acting with the knowledge of other top officials, then accelerated a secret stream of aid.
The U.S. ambassador to Pakistan at the time, Robert Oakley, separately said in an interview that he thinks
Pakistan's top military officer urged and approved Khan's bomb-related assistance to Iran.
Who directed the deal?
Khan is a controversial figure, and he has complained bitterly about long-standing restrictions on his
movements by Pakistan's government, which says it seeks to ensure he does not restart his nuclear dealings.
Several U.S. experts have noted that as a result, Khan is eager to depict others as more culpable than he was
in those dealings.
1 of 4 3/22/2010 1:28 PM
Most observers now think Khan's work for Iran was directed by "senior elements of Pakistan's military, if not
by its political leaders," said Leonard S. Spector, director of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation
Studies. "Khan is clearly out to vindicate his reputation, but the issues remain murky enough that you can't be
certain when he is telling the truth and when he is embellishing."
Khan's 11-page narrative, prepared in 2004 during his initial house arrest, states that "at no time did I
seriously believe that they [Iranians] were capable of mastering the technology." But Western intelligence
officials say his assistance was meaningful and trace its roots to a deal reached in 1987.
Pakistan has said little about that deal. Iran later told international inspectors that a Pakistani "network" in
1987 offered a host of centrifuge-related specifications and equipment, and turned over a document detailing
how to shape enriched uranium for use in a bomb.
Pakistan's intelligence service sought to explain the cooperation partly by noting that "due to religious and
ideological affinity, Pakistanis had great affection for Iran." But Khan also cited Iran's promise of financial
aid, as well as the government's ambition of forever thwarting Western pressure on both countries.
"It was a deal worth almost $10 billion that had been offered by Iran," Khan wrote.
Khan's account and related documents were shared with The Post by former British journalist Simon
Henderson, now a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The Post had no direct
contact with Khan, but it independently verified that he wrote the documents.
The intelligence service's summary said Gen. Mirza Aslam Beg, a former army chief of staff who was
arguably Pakistan's most influential figure, was "in favour of very close cooperation [with Iran] in the nuclear
field in lieu of financial assistance promised to him toward Pakistan's defense budget."
Khan's written statement to Henderson states that after Shamkhani's arrival in Islamabad on a government
plane, he told the chairman of Pakistan's Joint Chiefs of Staff committee that "he had come . . . to collect the
promised nuclear bombs."
When the chairman, Adm. Iftikhar Ahmed Sirohey, proposed to discuss other matters first and then "see how
Pakistan could assist the Iranians in their nuclear program," Shamkhani reportedly became irate, Khan wrote.
He reminded Sirohey that "first Gen. Zia [ul Haq, the Pakistani president until 1988] and then Gen. Beg had
promised assistance and nuclear weapons and he had specifically come to collect the same."
Such a transfer was theoretically feasible. Although Pakistan exploded no nuclear bombs until 1998, the U.S.
intelligence community concluded it had the capability to make weapons by 1986.
Shamkhani, a founding leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, was long active in the country's nuclear
program, according to U.S. officials. A longtime defense minister and presidential candidate in 2001, he now
runs a Tehran think tank. The Iranian mission in New York did not respond to questions about him.
Khan said that after hearing Shamkhani's demand for three finished weapons, Sirohey demurred and that
other ministers backed him up. But Beg pressed then-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and her top military aide
"to honour [Beg's] . . . commitment," Khan wrote.
Under pressure, the aide asked Khan to "get components of two old (P-1) discarded machines and pack them
into boxes with 2 sets of drawings," which were passed to Iran through an intermediary, he said. P-1 is the
designation for the centrifuge model used in Pakistan.
Asked to comment, Sirohey said he did not recall the meeting "or ever hearing about a deal to sell nuclear
weapons to Iran."
2 of 4 3/22/2010 1:28 PM
In an interview, Beg denied bartering nuclear weapons for cash. He said that when an Iranian delegation
"asked me about nuclear technology" in 1988, he advised discussing it with Bhutto.
A 2006 Associated Press article reported Beg's recollection of a 1990 visit by an Iranian delegation: "They
asked, 'Can we have a bomb?' My answer was: By all means you can have it but you must make it yourself."
But on a Pakistani television program in June, Beg said he has "always" urged the transfer of nuclear arms to
Iran.
The former Pakistani official said, "Shamkhani thought he had a deal when he came to Pakistan." Various top
officials, the former official said, were aware that Beg told the Iranians, "You have the money, we have the
technology. Beg saw this as a win-win . . . a way to take care of the Army's endless budget problems."
'The supply network'
U.S. intelligence officials say Khan's initial exports of disassembled P-1 centrifuges disappointed his Iranian
counterparts; the International Atomic Energy Agency states that Iran reported a 2003 offer of new parts by
"the supply network."
In his narrative, Khan states that his next direct contact with Iranian officials was at a meeting in 1994 or
1995, when some Iranian scientists complained about their lack of progress.
Khan said in a note to Henderson that he subsequently agreed to send centrifuge parts to Iran. The IAEA says
Iran admitted that Khan's network in 1996 also turned over the design for a more advanced centrifuge that
Pakistan had constructed, known as P-2.
Malaysian police reported in 2004 -- based on interrogations of a Khan associate -- that the parts were
shipped aboard an Iranian-owned ship after first passing through Dubai. In return, the associates were paid $3
million.
The Pakistani intelligence service report differs slightly: It said Iran paid $5 million for drawings of equipment
used in enriching uranium. Some funds were deposited in a Dubai bank account controlled by Khan and two
associates under the name "Haider Zaman," the report said. Khan used that name in a government-issued
passport to conceal some foreign travel.
Khan has told Henderson that the funds went to associates and that he never retained any, which some U.S.
officials consider implausible. Khan also said in a separate note that he supplied "the names and addresses of
suppliers" to the Iranians. Western officials say that act could have given Tehran access to companies that
possessed drawings of Pakistani bomb parts and to components of the more advanced P-2 centrifuges used by
Pakistan.
Iran last month promised to install such advanced centrifuges, which it calls IR-2s, at two sites this year.
Warrick reported from Islamabad. Staff researcher Julie Tate contributed to this report.

THE DEPROLIFERATOR -- Last week we discussed how to communicate the subject of

disarmament to the public, or at least the "persuadable middle" (a.k.a. independents). Research
organizations have devised promising approaches to "framing" and "messaging" in order to divert
members of the public from viewing deterrence as the ultimate defense against an enemy. Instead
they're shown that, because of their risk, it's actually nuclear weapons themselves that are the
enemy.
We also proposed that widespread enlightened childrearing would likely produce a generation
of citizens who would find national-security policies that leave the lives of tens of millions hanging
in the balance unacceptable. The introduction of courses on, if not arms control, national-security
options, into schools at all levels would follow suit.
A prominent member of the disarmament community is already making significant strides in that
direction. William Potter, the director of the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the
Monterey Institute of International Studies, kicked off a presentation he gave at the end of February
with a description of the UN Experts Group on Disarmament and Nonproliferation Education, which
he was instrumental in forming. (Though, he admits, "relatively little progress has been made to
date in translating [it] into global action.") He reveals the group's raison d'etre:
[Because] of a fixation on quick solutions to immediate crises, neither national

governments nor international organizations invest adequately in long-term programs of
disarmament and nonproliferation training. As a consequence, we face a predicament on
a global scale in which otherwise well educated citizens (and many of their elected
representatives) are amazingly complacent about and ignorant of disarmament and
nonproliferation issues.
Potter then spells out the Monterey Institute's answer to the dearth of disarmament and
nonproliferation education: ". . . as of fall 2010 we will offer the world's first Masters Degree
Program in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies. Among the unusual aspects of this program will
be its use of. . . negotiation simulations, coverage of the entire range of WMD threats [and]
international internship opportunities." [Emphasis added.]
In a non-graduate program in the past, Monterey used, "Skype and Teleconferencing to bring 'real-
world' decision makers into the classroom," such as Assistant Secretary of State for Verification and
Compliance Rose Gottemoeller and U.N. High Representative for Disarmament Sergio Duarte. By
end of that course, Potter said, it was "impossible to discern professional diplomats from many
students."
Nuke Tube?
Monterey has also "increasingly made use of various forms of distance learning, including lectures
to students at Russian universities via. . . Facebook, Twitter, and our own variant of You Tube
called 'Nuke Tube.'" It has also "collaborated with Russian and Chinese universities. . . to develop
nonproliferation textbooks and other training materials in those languages," as well as "university
courses in nonproliferation in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and. . . other post-Soviet States."
Sounds promising -- how can other schools be brought on board? "One of my long standing -- but
to date unrealized -- recommendations," Potter says is the passage of "legislation to create a
National Nonproliferation Education Act, similar to the U.S. National Defense Education Act. . . to
create competitive scholarships [to encourage] the best and the brightest students to specialize on
WMD issues."
How about the earlier grades? Potter remarks that, "Few high schools have curricula that expose
students to issues of disarmament or weapons proliferation and strategies for their control."
2 of 3 4/12/2010 4:46 PM
We shouldn't wonder. Look at the reactions to teaching the Holocaust to kids. Deniers aside, some
parents think that it scares kids; others think that it's given favoritism over other tragedies by Jews
who just can't let it go. In fact, since many parents believe in retaining nuclear weapons as
deterrence, courses incorporating nonproliferation and disarmament are likely to be even more
controversial.
Too bad. Exposing young students to nonproliferation and disarmament sure beats air raid drills,
like when I was young.

Posted: March 22, 2010 04:40 PM
The 83-year-old President Mubarak of Egypt has been in power since 1981. Concerns about
his health draw much greater attention to the question of who will next rule the nation of Egypt.
"When it happens, it will rock the world..: octogenarian Mubarak, will leave office, either by his
own decision or that of Providence, probably within the next three years. So far, few in the West
have paid much attention. But Egyptians certainly are getting ready, and we should do so as
well", says Georgetown University Professor Michelle Dunne, expert on Arab politics and U.S.
policy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
President Mubarak has been polishing his son Gamal to be his successor - in a country
which is supposed to be a republic with elected officials! Unlike Sadat and Nasser, Mubarak has
persistently refused to appoint a vice-president. Egyptians are enraged at the thought that
Mubarak's son, Gamal, would be their next ruler as in Syria. They believe he would continue the
same route of his father by enriching the elite while ignoring the increasing demands of the
masses for reform. Mubarak has ruled Egypt with an iron fist; he has turned Egypt into a police
state with a security force infrastructure that numbers nearly 2 million recruits. Mubarak's regime
has grown very unpopular and detested by most Egyptians. Prices of basic food items and
commodities are skyrocketing.
The Final Days?
The possible fall of the centralized government of Egypt and the Mubarak's regime could
send shock waves throughout the globe. Under the current regime, there is no apparent chain
of command or democratic institutions that would facilitate the transfer of power to the next
president. According to Thomas Barnett, the problem is "Another political force is connecting to
the restive Egyptian people, and this force is the Muslim Brotherhood, known otherwise as
al-Qaeda 1.0. By hardwiring themselves into the goodwill of the masses through highly effective
social-welfare nets, the Brotherhood is retracing the electoral pathway to power blazed by
1 of 4 3/29/2010 2:49 PM
Hamas in Palestine and Hezbollah in Lebanon: hearts and minds first, blood and guts later. It is
now basically a race: Gamal's quest for foreign direct investment and the jobs it generates
versus the Brotherhood's quest for the political support of average Egyptians tired of lives led in
quiet desperation. Who will win? I'm betting another "olive tree" fight breaks out long before any
Egyptian "Lexus" goes to market".
Barnett adds: "Sounds incredible? It isn't, because the more likely scenario is that Mubarak
the Elder dies before Mubarak the Younger can turn himself into Egypt's Deng Xiaoping,
yielding a Tiananmen Souk that lights up the country pronto with the Brotherhood's [Muslim
Brothers, a.k.a. Ikhwan] prodding. And since these students will be hoisting pictures of Osama
instead of a makeshift Goddess of Democracy, President Obama is likely to find himself facing
an unbelievably bad choice in the largest Arab country. Would America intervene militarily to
preserve Gamal's faltering rule, making good on all the strategic promises implied by the $50
billion in aid to Egyptian regimes since 1975? Or we can hope that a twenty-first-century
Masada in a Middle East where Iran has the bomb can hold out?"
Barnett contends that if the international community drives "al-Qaeda & Co. out of the Middle
East ... it will be forced into its current strategic rear of choice--Africa. Africa is where al-Qaeda
hides its money, guns, recruits, training camps--and its future. Africa will be the last great stand
in this Long War, where all those impossibly straight borders once drawn by colonial masters
will inevitably be made squiggly again by globalization's cultural reformatting process. Now this
fight heads south...and yes, the Long War will be even uglier there".
Meanwhile, visible signs of discord between the United States and Egypt over a wide array of
issues have appeared in recent years. "Today, the bilateral relationship has eroded over
Mubarak's cold peace with Israel, to dealings with terrorist supporting states on its borders.
Equally alarming is the rise of anti-American and Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories in Egypt's
state media and society" said Dr. Robert Satloff, the Executive Director of the Washington
Institute for Near East Policy in his testimony before the Committee on International Relations in
the U.S. House of Representatives.
Haunted by the memories of the overnight fall of the Shah of Iran to the Ayatollahs, U.S.
policymakers fear a similar event in Egypt. Once thought to be a strong U.S. ally, the Shah of
Iran, lost his grip over power to the zealous clergy sabotaging every effort for peace and stability
in the region. Marcos and Suharto, two old dictators considered strong U.S. allies, as well, fell to
the angry mobs in the Philippines and Indonesia.
President Obama is likely to find himself facing an unbelievably bad choice in the largest
Arab country, considering the several scenarios that can take place in Egypt. Would an
ambitious general stage another coup, turning Egypt into a God -knows-what regime? Would
that general ally himself with Muslim radical groups like the Muslim Brothers, Hamas, or
Hezbollah? Would Egypt witness another Khomeini-style revolution? Considering the alarming
rising poverty figures in Egypt and the disparities between the classes, could Egypt be overrun
by an angry and hungry mob, French Revolution style? Egypt would then erupt into
lawlessness, chaos, or perhaps civil war with the dissolving of the central government, its head
figures and its upper class already preparing for such a turn of events.
If the Muslim Brotherhood were to achieve power in Egypt, Israel's demise would once again
become the overt unifying principle for governments in the region. Whatever the scenario would
be, spillover from what could occur in Egypt in the near future would impact many nations. With
Hamas taking control in the Palestinian territories, Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon - backed by
the Baathists in Damascus and the Mullahs in Tehran, the regime would be populated by
regimes who would all agree on one thing: hatred for America and wiping the state of Israel off
2 of 4 3/29/2010 2:49 PM
the map.
Just south of Egypt lies another unfriendly neighbor. Sudan's government, with its generals
and clerics, brings more bad news to policymakers in Western capitals, stockholders in major
global markets, and the average citizens and consumers who have to pay the price with every
Middle East crisis.
Western capitals and observers in the region are keeping tabs on the situation in Egypt, fearing
a domino effect in case of a trigger event occurring in Egypt. But it seems that none of these
experts can give an answer to what would be the way out of that bottleneck. Inspired by their
fatalism, Egyptians have developed an attitude of coping with the situation, which leads to more
apathy and a state of hopelessness waiting for a divine intervention. Their government
continues to give promises of reform knowing that giving up absolute power and opening the
door for free speech and elections would hasten its demise. The military institution in Egypt is
on the guard and waiting to intervene while the banned Ikhwan movement has been gaining
momentum.
May Kasem, political scientist at the American University in Cairo, gives her advice to
decision makers in Washington saying that "Political stability, peace, and development in the
Middle East, like anywhere else, can best be achieved through reform rather than revolution...
Foreign support may protect and prolong the lifespan of an authoritarian regime, but it cannot
maintain such a regime indefinitely. It is in the interest of all parties concerned, including
authoritarian regimes and their international patrons, to opt for political reform rather than risk
the imposed and unpredictable transformation of dissent. The U.S. should recognize that it
should pressure friends into genuine reforms".
According to Newsweek columnist Fareed Zakaria, "If we could choose one place to press
hardest to reform, it should be Egypt.... In Egypt, we must ask President Mubarak to insist that
the state-owned press drop its anti-American and anti-Semitic rants, end the glorification of
suicide bombers and begin opening itself up to other voices in the country. Egypt is the
intellectual soul of the Arab world. If it were to progress economically and politically, it would
demonstrate more powerfully than any essay or speech that Islam is compatible with modernity
and that Arabs can thrive in today's world.
Ambassador Edward S. Walker, Jr., who served as Assistant Secretary of State for Near
Eastern Affairs and Ambassador to Egypt, criticized "the duality of Egyptian policy, which can
be called having its cake and eating it too. It [the regime] plays to its domestic audience through
the media, officially sponsored clerics, and the educational system. The regime blames all its
shortcomings on imperialism, Zionism, the West, and the United States and uses that to build
domestic support".
Professor Tate Miller of the Monterey Institute for International Studies says that "Perhaps no
nation has greater potential to influence the destiny of the Middle-East, and hence the world,
than Egypt. Yet, like a lingering and unrecognized apparition, Egypt's influence in regional and
global affairs seems always just out of sight, and never fully understood. Egypt's future can be
the potential tipping point of Middle Eastern society".
No one has offered a vision of hope for the Egyptians. The average Egyptian citizen finds
himself or herself in a 'we're-stuck' situation. This situation manifests itself in an angry, restless,
anxious and irrational behavior that reflects on Egyptian society witnessing a high wave of
violent crimes: such as rape, murder, a high rate of divorce, drug use, white collar crimes, road
rage, embezzlement, military service desertion, domestic violence, and countless other crimes.
3 of 4 3/29/2010 2:49 PM
Average citizens and consumers worldwide have been paying the price for conflicts in the
Middle East in terms of jacked up oil prices which lead to increased prices for gasoline, heat
and energy bills and other commodities. For Egypt, political stability means economic growth,
less spending on military conflicts, more cash to social programs, happy voters, and hence high
ratings for politicians. "It is all one big picture, a cycle of connected events, inevitably and
inextricably linked in our ever shrinking global village .
Given this equation, any near term trigger event in Egypt would garner at least the same
global attention as any other Middle East regional conflict. Hence, the four scariest words in the
political dictionary are: Egypt after Hosni Mubarak? This is why whatever unfolds on the
Egyptian landscape; will be a story of monumental proportions.

U.S. and Russia Nuclear Weapons NPT Talks Fail to Launch -- Printout --... http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1974287,00.html

U.S. and Russian leaders say they're "optimistic" that they will soon reach a new treaty limiting both
sides' arsenal of long-range nuclear weapons, although they've said that before and failed to deliver. But
with a massive review conference due in May for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapon
(NPT) — an increasingly strained but still crucial linchpin in global security — getting Washington and
Moscow on the same page about nuclear weapons is becoming increasingly urgent. (See the top 10
scientific discoveries of 2009.)
The two sides missed a deadline last December to conclude a follow-on agreement to the Strategic Arms
Reduction Treaty (START), which lapsed on Dec. 5. Since that time, leaders on both sides have promised
that an agreement was imminent. But just last week Secretary of State Hillary Clinton emerged empty-
handed from a long afternoon of talks with her Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, again offering only
that she was optimistic that a deal would soon be reached.
The importance of a new START agreement for efforts to strengthen the nonproliferation regime can't be
understated. The core bargain of the NPT is that signatories pledge not to develop nuclear weapons, in
exchange for a promise by existing nuclear-weapons states to move toward disarmament. And the U.S.
and Russia would both like an invigorated NPT against the threat of proliferation in a growing number
of states. But if Washington and Moscow fail to agree on a new treaty to curb their own nuclear-missile
arsenals, their bargaining position will be undermined. At previous review conferences on the NPT,
countries of the Non-Aligned Movement — developing countries that claimed independence from both
the U.S. and the Soviet blocs during the Cold War — have resisted U.S. and Russian demands in an effort
to force the owners of the vast majority of the world's nuclear weapons to keep their part of the
nonproliferation bargain. If a START follow-on is not concluded by May, says William Potter, Director of
the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in California. "Both Russia and the United States
would get hammered, and not only by nonaligned countries."
A more pressing deadline is the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington on April 12, aimed at
1 of 3 3/29/2010 4:20 PM
U.S. and Russia Nuclear Weapons NPT Talks Fail to Launch -- Printout --... http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,1974287,00.html
developing mechanisms to secure and eventually eliminate global stocks of fissile material required for
building nuclear weapons. A failure to complete START may hinder that seemingly unrelated effort, too.
During the 2005 review conference, when Norway proposed a global plan to eliminate Highly Enriched
Uranium (HEU) stocks, South Africa — a developing country that has a large stockpile of HEU left over
from the weapons program maintained by the apartheid regime but dismantled in 1994 — pushed back
against the U.S.–backed initiative, arguing that real nuclear terror comes not from HEU stocks but from
the thousands of weapons in American and Russian arsenals. That argument only becomes more
powerful if Russia and America fail to renew START by the summit.
Currently, it is not clear what is holding up START negotiations. The basics of an agreement have been
locked down since a joint Obama-Medvedev meeting last July: the White House reported that the two
sides were ready to commit to reduce their arsenals to somewhere between 1,500 and 1,675 warheads
and between 500 and 1,100 delivery systems, i.e. missiles and long-range bombers. Currently, the treaty
allows each side a maximum of 2,200 warheads and 1,600 launch vehicles.
Early on in the talks, Russia raised concerns about U.S. plans for a missile-defense system in Europe,
which could potentially give the U.S. an edge if it could neutralize parts of Moscow's arsenal. Many
hoped that concern had been addressed by Obama's pledge last September to scrap a Bush-era plan to
station interceptor missiles in Poland and by promises to include missile defense in negotiations of any
further arms-control treaties. But Moscow remained concerned over the alternatives to the Polish
scheme being considered by the U.S, for deployment in Europe. Last week the Speaker of Russia's lower
house of parliament, Boris Gryzlov, said that the Duma would not ratify a START treaty until all U.S.
plans for a Europe-based missile-defense system were shelved.
"There are all sorts of rumors for why [a new treaty] hasn't been signed," says Hans Kristensen of the
Federation of American Scientists. "At a deeper level the delay hints at lingering distrust between the
United States and Russia."
Potter, however, believes that domestic tensions in Russia rather than a rift between the two countries is
responsible for the delay. "The delay has had more to do with Russian domestic politics and involves
disputes between Russian military and political figures about the role of nuclear weapons in Russian
security policy and the importance of improved Russian relations with the United States," he explains.
"Some Russian analysts also have suggested that President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin have
different interests in rapid conclusion (and ratification) of the treaty, which is related to their
positioning for the next presidential contest."
A successor to START was supposed to have been the easy first step in the journey to reach President
Obama's vision of a world free of nuclear weapons. It is his ambition that has injected this year's
nuclear-security summit and NPT review conference with such importance and potential. But the START
struggles raise concern that Obama's vision could stumble at the first hurdle.

Expert Warns of N.Korean Uranium Supply to Iran
A U.S. expert has raised the over reports that North Korea exported unenriched
uranium to Syria before a reactor there was bombed by Israel, claiming the material
may have been intended for Iran. Leonard Spector, a deputy director of the
Monterey Institute of International Studies' James Martin Center for Nonproliferation
Studies, made the remarks Tuesday.
Spector quoted reports as saying the 45 tons of what is known as "yellowcake" were
then delivered to Iran via Turkey. The material would be sufficient for several nuclear
weapons if enriched to weapons grade. The 45 tons could be only the first of many
such shipments, he speculated.
"After having flagrantly violated relevant UN Security Council resolutions by continuing

their respective nuclear operations, it now appears that North Korea and Iran may
have begun to assist each other to bypass the Council's demands," he said. He
warned that a North Korea-Iran nuclear axis could gravely undermine international
nonproliferation efforts.
The report came from Japan's Kyodo News citing unnamed sources.

By PETER BAKER
WASHINGTON — The arms control treaty being completed by the United States and Russia
represents another step toward closing the books on the defining struggle of the final half of the
20th century. But it also marks the opening of a broader campaign to counter the emerging threats
of the 21st century.
The treaty that the two sides hope to finalize as early as Friday will require hundreds of nuclear
weapons to be shelved or destroyed, still just a fraction of the formidable arsenals maintained by
the former cold war adversaries. But perhaps more important than the numbers is the tangible
evidence of a new partnership with Russia and momentum toward a revamped nuclear security
regime.
If President Obama signs the treaty with President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia in Prague on
April 8 as expected, it will give Mr. Obama a stronger hand heading into two back-to-back nuclear
summit meetings where he wants to push toward the nuclear weapons-free world he envisions. At
the two meetings, Mr. Obama hopes to forge international consensus to limit the spread of
weapons and secure materials that could be vulnerable to terrorists, efforts that could be
accelerated by the new treaty.
“The larger meaning is the delegitimization of nuclear weapons,” said Kenneth N. Luongo,
president of the Partnership for Global Security, a nonprofit group pushing for aggressive efforts at
the approaching meetings. “Obama will be able to go, and Medvedev as well, and say, ‘Here’s what
we did on disarmament. Now we need to get serious about nuclear terrorism and nuclear
materials.’ ”
Stephen Sestanovich, a veteran Russia expert who was ambassador-at-large to the former Soviet
republics during the Clinton administration, said that the White House viewed the new treaty as
“the key that turns a great many other locks.” But writing on the Web site of the Council on Foreign
Relations, he cautioned that the deep mistrust between the United States and Russia stubbornly
remained. “The new treaty will not put it to rest,” he wrote.
The specific arms reductions embedded in the new treaty amount to a continuing evolution rather
than a radical shift in the countries’ nuclear postures.
1 of 3 3/29/2010 3:12 PM
According to people in Washington and Moscow briefed on the new treaty, it will lower the legal
limit on deployed strategic warheads to 1,550 each from the 2,200 allowed as of 2012. It would
lower the limit on launchers to 800 from the 1,600 now permitted. Nuclear-armed missiles and
heavy bombers would be capped at 700 each.
The United States currently has 2,100 deployed strategic warheads, and Russia 2,600, according to
the Federation of American Scientists and the Natural Resources Defense Council, so each side will
have to cut hundreds within seven years after the treaty is ratified. But both sides have been
cutting their launchers unilaterally for years, with the United States already down to below 1,200
and Russia already at just 800 as allowed in the new treaty. Moreover, the treaty does not limit the
thousands of tactical nuclear bombs and stored strategic warheads.
The notion that “this is somehow great news or a breakthrough” in fact “is hardly the case,” said
Peter Huessy, president of GeoStrategic Analysis, a national security consulting business. As a
matter of percentages, Mr. Huessy noted that the treaty cut warheads only half as much as did the
Treaty of Moscow signed in 2002 by President George W. Bush.
“What did we get out of the deal?” Mr. Huessy asked. “Nothing that I can see, and I have been
doing nuclear stuff, including arms control, since 1981.”
The Obama administration readily acknowledges the limitations of the new treaty, but from the
beginning described it as an effort aimed especially at building a foundation of trust with Moscow
and establishing an inspection regime to replace the one that expired in December with the
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or Start.
After a successful first round, Mr. Obama plans to open another round of negotiations to cut
arsenals even further, including stored warheads and tactical weapons. And eventually he
envisions bringing other nuclear powers like China, Britain and France into the discussions.
Disarmament is only part of the agenda. Four days after the treaty’s signing in Prague, Mr. Obama
will host the leaders of as many as 45 countries in Washington to discuss how to prevent nuclear
materials from falling into the wrong hands.
And then a month after that, world leaders will gather in New York for the regular review
conference of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, where they will consider how to keep more
countries from developing weapons like North Korea has done and, according to Western leaders,
Iran is doing.
Mr. Obama also wants to negotiate a treaty on fissile materials and plans to press the Senate to
finally ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
“If we get a Start deal done, it will demonstrate a strong partnership between the United States and
2 of 3 3/29/2010 3:12 PM
Russia being able to address not just the problems of nuclear security in their two countries, but
the deadly spread of nuclear weapons throughout the world,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House
press secretary.
Nikolai Sokov, a former Soviet arms negotiator now at the Monterey Institute of International
Studies in California, said the new pact was “both modest and essential” to more lasting
accomplishments.
“So much effort has been spent in the last several months that there is a tendency to see it as a
major step forward,” he said. “I think 10 years from now, we will see it for what it is — a small
bridge treaty, without which subsequent, much bigger, achievement would not have been
possible.”
Clifford J. Levy contributed reporting from Moscow.

Future Of Nuclear Arsenal Is Unclear
PUBLISHED:
SUNDAY , MARCH 28, 2010
The general public knows very little about the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The nuclear weapons budget, including
security and maintenance of the warheads, totals well into the billions. There are billions more tied up in the
submarines, missiles, and aircraft tasked with delivering these weapons to targets. The public is also confused
about the nature of these weapons, about the role that they play in deterrence, and about the prospects for
further nuclear arms reductions.
At a Capitol Hill Briefing “Nuclear Weapons Spending and the Future of the Arsenal,” Stephen I. Schwartz,
editor of Nonproliferation Review at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Monterey
Institute of International Studies, and principal author of Nuclear Security Spending: Assessing Costs,
Examining Priorities, shed some light on this issue and provided some concrete figures.
Simply putting together a comprehensive assessment of the amount we spend on nuclear weapons is difficult,
he said, because nuclear weapons program expenses are spread across the budgets of multiple departments.
There is no single nuclear weapons budget in existence. By going through the various programs, he found
that, in 2008, the United States spent roughly $52.8 billion on nuclear security — but this number is likely
low, since it does not include intelligence and classified activities. Mr. Schwartz said he would like to see
legislation requiring the administration to compile a single, consistent budget for all nuclear weapons–related
programs, bringing more transparency to the spending. Congress would then have the opportunity to take a
much broader look at the tremendous amount of money allocated to this area and make more informed
decisions.
While Mr. Schwartz admitted there were inherent difficulties in producing such a study without inside access
and classified documents, his study is instructive nonetheless as the only contemporary study of the true cost
of nuclear security spending. It sets a model for what could become a required comprehensive accounting
study.
Christopher Preble, director of foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, mapped out the decision criteria we
should use to downsize from our current, three-pronged nuclear strategy (the triad) to a two-pronged
alternative (the dyad).
While the triad was defensible in the context of the Cold War, Mr. Preble said, at some point in the 20th
Century it went from being prudent to questionable, and then to absurd. With the continuing decline of
worldwide arsenals, we no longer need all three delivery systems for our nuclear warheads: missiles on
submarines, B-2 and B-52 bombers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles on the continental United States.
One of the three should be phased out and that decision should be based “not on parochial and political
considerations but ultimately on the strategic merit of each system.”

UN Interpreters Make Sure Nothing Is Lost In Translation
by Nikola Krastev
UNITED NATIONS -- When Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi delivered his notorious 96-minute speech before the UN General Assembly last autumn, no one may have been more aware of each passing minute
than his personal translator, Fouad Zlitni, whom he had brought along for the occasion.
Nearly three-quarters of the way into Qaddafi's address, Zlitni collapsed, undone by the effort of translating the Libyan leader's rambling, at times angry speech from Arabic into English for nearly 75 minutes
straight.
Hossam Fahr, the Egyptian-born head of the UN's interpretation service, says Qaddafi's translator went far beyond the normal limits of what an interpreter can reasonably be expected to do.
"It was a very unusual situation, because every member state has the right to bring its own interpreter. [Qaddafi] had his own interpreters; they were already installed in the booths. So we let them do the work, and
then unfortunately, one of them just collapsed a good 75 minutes into the statement," Fahr said.
"I take my hat off to him -- he did a very good job under the circumstances."
The incident served to highlight the grueling nature of simultaneous interpretation, a profession which few ordinary people have occasion to observe.
But at the United Nations, which brings together 192 member states and a profusion of mother tongues in its day-to-day pursuit of international diplomacy, interpretation is at the very core of its operations.
The annual General Assembly -- which every autumn brings together the entire UN membership for a massive two-week series of speeches and policy reviews -- may represent the World Cup of professional
interpretation.
But even on a day-to-day basis, the UN's councils, committees, and publications produce enough work to keep its language staff of nearly 460 people busy on a full-time basis.
Barry Olsen, who heads the conference interpretation program at California's highly respected Monterey Institute of International Studies -- from which a number of UN translators have graduated -- says UN
language specialists are generally considered the best in the business.
"A translator or interpreter who works for the United Nations has reached what is very much one of the pinnacles of the profession. It is an organization that is respected and the linguistic work that goes on with the
United Nations is of the highest order," Olsen says.
Iron Nerves And A Sense Of Style
Although the official working languages at the United Nations are English and French, the UN has six official languages into which the bulk of its official documents and publications are automatically translated --
English and French, plus Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish. (In instances where other languages are needed, the UN will hire freelance interpreters or country delegations will bring in their own translators.)
UN interpreters, most typically, translate from their acquired languages into their native tongue. With language like Chinese and Arabic -- where accomplished translators are more difficult to find -- interpreters will
translate both into their native language as well as their adopted ones.
It's an intense experience that can drain even the most accomplished interpreters -- to avoid a Qaddafi-like marathon, in fact, the UN abides by a strict timetable in which interpreters work in teams of two, with one
typically working no more than 20 minutes at a time before switching to his or her partner. (General Assembly speeches, moreover, are usually kept to 15 minutes or less.)
Mastering a language is only the start to being a good interpreter. In a UN guide for would-be language specialists, the job appears to be equal parts diplomat, rocket scientist, and traffic cop. "A good translator," it
reads, "knows techniques for coping with a huge variety of difficult situations, has iron nerves, does not panic, has a sense of style, and can keep up with a rapid speakers."
Stiff Competition
Such people, it appears, are hard to find. Despite salaries that are among the highest in the profession -- top-rank UN interpreters can earn $76,000 a year -- the United Nations is suffering a severe shortage of
qualified language personnel.
"We're looking for people with good comprehension skills. Sometimes people who translate from French or English into Russian do not necessarily speak fluently in English or French," says Igor Shpiniov, a
Russian-born translator who runs the UN's language training division.
"Sometimes, paradoxically, they can translate a text about atomic energy, but if you ask them to buy milk at a French supermarket, they'll be at a loss."
Competition for the jobs is stiff. Out of 1,800 applicants looking to work as Chinese interpreters last year, only 10 passed the UN examination. For Arabic, only two out of 400 made the cut.
Many UN language experts work as translators for the vast numbers of publications and documents that pass through the international body each year. But the most prestigious position is that of the simultaneous
interpreters when language experts sit in soundproof booths and provide a running translation of often highly technical or politically charged speeches.
The Comma Affair
The profession was first developed during the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals in 1946. Now both the General Assembly and Security Council have eight translation booths -- one for each of the UN's official
languages, and two for alternate language translations. (According to UN rules, the media is barred from sitting in on live interpretation sessions.)
When working at important events like Security Council meetings, interpreters are often allowed to prepare with advance information about the proceedings, allowing them to familiarize themselves with the
concepts and terminology of the debate. The agenda for the General Assembly is often planned months in advance, allowing the translation team ample time to estimate how many interpreters will be needed for
scheduled talks.
Still, no amount of advance planning can completely protect interpreters from anxiety when the time has come for them to translate. Some studies have shown that during intense debates, interpreters often
experience an increase in blood pressure and heart rate as they struggle to translate different terms, nuances, and arguments into smooth, comprehensible phrases.
Movies like "The Interpreter," starring Nicole Kidman as a UN translator and filmed inside the United Nations compound, brought an aura of Hollywood glamour and intrigue to the role of interpreters. In reality, the
job can be far more prosaic, although constant worries about involuntary bloopers and misinterpretations can keep tensions high.
In one instance, a firestorm was raised when a single comma was removed from the text of a UN resolution involving two unnamed former Soviet republics in the thick of a border dispute. One of the countries,
angered by the omission, demanded it be replaced. But the UN translators, undaunted, said the comma had distorted the meaning of the text. Not everyone was happy, but in the end, the comma stayed out.
Mistakes And Applause
Interpretation head Fahr also recalls a mistake he made as an Arabic-English interpreter when the Egyptian diplomat Boutros Boutros-Ghali was sworn in as UN secretary-general in 1992.
"What comes out of my mouth is, 'I congratulate you upon your election as secretary-general of the United States.' And everybody in the General Assembly laughed," Fahr said.
"So the president of the General Assembly asked the then-secretary-general, [Peru's Javier] Perez de Cuellar why are they laughing, and he said 'The English interpreter made a mistake.'"
In the end, Fahr says, he received a forgiving round of applause.
Stephen Sekel, former chief of the UN's English translation service, says such mistakes are quite common and that UN staff only occasionally demand an interpreter be sanctioned for making a mistake. Overall, he
says, the skill and professionalism of the UN translation team ensures any they remain an indispensible, behind-the-scenes asset -- and that their errors will be few.
"We expect our language staff to bring a great deal of general knowledge to the job, a high level of education and a lot of intellectual curiosity," Sekel said.
"They are expected to be continuous learners. They wouldn't survive otherwise. Perhaps that explains why we don't have too many examples of terrible mistakes that brought us to the brink of a major international

Reduce the civilian use of HEU now http://www.thebulletin.org/print/web-edition/columnists/fissile-material...
BY FISSILE MATERIALS WORKING GROUP | 30 MARCH 2010
Highly enriched uranium (HEU) is usually regarded as the fissile material most
desirable to terrorists, given the relative ease with which it could be used to
manufacture a simple nuclear explosive device. For similar reasons, it's also
worrisome from a state-level proliferation viewpoint.
But thanks in part to U.S. leadership, a diverse and increasing number of countries
now recognize the risks associated with the civilian use, storage, and trade in HEU
and have taken steps to reduce their reliance upon this dangerous material. In fact,
an international scientific consensus agrees that there is no technical reason to
continue to use HEU in research reactors, in medical isotope production, or in other
civilian applications.
"What is clear is that without an international norm of some sort, phasing out
the use of HEU in the civilian sector will prove to be quite difficult."
Nonetheless, political and economic obstacles continue to hamper efforts to achieve

a global clean out of civilian HEU, despite the Obama administration's plans to
sharply increase spending in pursuit of such an objective. In fact, nearly 800
kilograms of HEU continue to be used annually in research reactors and to produce
medical isotopes--enough for 40 Hiroshima-type bombs.
The obstacles vary from Russian fears that parting with such material will reduce the
prestige of the country's research facilities to South African objections that calls for
non-nuclear weapon states to part with their HEU is "disarming the disarmed" to
Canadian concerns that converting domestic medical isotope production facilities to
less dangerous low-enriched uranium (LEU) targets will cost too much.
A consistent theme is a sense of complacency about the danger posed by HEU

stockpiles, with many developing countries in particular attaching little urgency to
U.S. concerns about nuclear terrorism. What is clear is that without an international
norm of some sort, phasing out the use of HEU in the civilian sector will prove to be

Reduce the civilian use of HEU now http://www.thebulletin.org/print/web-edition/columnists/fissile-material...
quite difficult.
To be sure, some steps forward have been taken in recent years. U.N. Security
Council Resolution 1887, adopted unanimously last fall, calls upon all states to
"manage responsibly and minimize to the greatest extent that is technically and
economically feasible the use of highly enriched uranium for civilian purposes,
including by working to convert research reactors and radioisotope production
processes to the use of low enriched uranium fuels and targets."
Unfortunately, this phrasing, although politically necessary to win support from

countries such as France and Russia, doesn't attach much urgency to HEU
elimination. Moreover, although the HEU provision hasn't received much attention
in and of itself, the resolution as a whole has been criticized by many developing
countries as inappropriate "legislating" by the U.N. Security Council.
President Barack Obama's upcoming Nuclear Security Summit will likely endorse
some form of HEU minimization, but almost certainly with a caveat regarding
economic and technical feasibility. The Obama administration should also use the
occasion to encourage countries to sign a voluntary code of conduct in relation to
HEU. Such a code could be adopted by countries, nuclear operators, universities,
and other stakeholders.
A potential code drafted by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies
and already supported by some governments would commit its adherents to:
Eliminating or converting installations from HEU to LEU as soon as technically

feasible;
Ending transfers of HEU except on an interim basis to facilities actively
pursuing conversion to LEU;
Maintaining security at levels concomitant with the risks;
Undertaking activities that would help make conversion possible; and
Developing and maintaining a strategy for the management and eventual
elimination of HEU.
Taken together, adoption in the final summit communique of such a code and a
commitment to HEU reduction (and eventual elimination) in the civilian sector
represents a major step forward in reducing the danger of terrorists acquiring crude,
but real, nuclear explosives.

James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, and Miles A. Pomper, a senior
research associate at the center.

U.S. Being Challenged for World Lead in Innovation

PR Newswire
DALLAS, March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Although the United States has long been the world
leader in innovation, there are indications that it is currently not keeping pace with the rest of the world,
according to an article in the Spring 2010 Issues in Science and Technology.
The article, by Brian Kahin of the Computer & Communications Industry Association and
Christopher T. Hill of George Mason University, praises the Obama administration's new innovation
strategy as "the first effort by a U.S. administration to address innovation comprehensively," but it PR Toolkit powered by PR Newswire
argues that an overarching agency must have the power to coordinate and implement innovation policy.

laissez-fair strategies of the past decade, while warning about the hazards of overzealous government
intervention. "The true choice in innovation is not between government and no government," they write,
"but about the right type of government involvement in support of innovation."
Other articles for this tour of global innovation policy were written by Brazil's science minister, the
chairman of Singapore's innovation agency, Ireland's chief science advisor, and the director of
education statistics at the OECD.
Also in the Spring 2010 Issues:

Global Development in Washington, DC, write that focusing on the health and education of adolescent
girls must be a key component of any international development strategy.
