From John O’Neil: “Iraq supports Iran’s right to pursue nuclear research, its new foreign minister said today, taking a position at odds with that of the Bush administration.” If you want the whole thing, here’s the link.

The truth is that this is precisely President Bush’s position, and the Iraqis support it: nuclear energy is fine, nuclear enrichment and weapons of mass destruction are not. A distinction beyond Mr O’Neil’s ken. Or wish fulfillment.
