Bronwen Maddox: World Briefing Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:01:00 GMT 2010-02-09T08:01:20Z The attempt to talk Iran down from its nuclear ambitions is going badly. Yesterday Tehran formally told the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN watchdog, that it would move farther ahead with its uranium enrichment, taking it one big step closer to nuclear weapons capability. That contradicts a statement last week purporting to be ready for a deal — one of a long series of such feints. Bronwen Maddox: World Briefing Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:01:00 GMT 2010-02-04T11:06:23Z When the Spanish Prime Minister arrived as a special guest at the annual National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington Hilton, he had already made his unspoken prayer all too obvious. Bronwen Maddox: Commentary Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:01:00 GMT 2010-02-03T12:28:16Z Of course President Barack Obama should meet the Dalai Lama. He should not give in to the tantrum that China’s leaders are throwing about this, US arms sales to Taiwan, and a dozen other perceived annoyances. Bronwen Maddox Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:01:04 GMT 2010-02-01T11:14:05Z This isn’t leadership. President Obama’s budget ducked the task of telling Americans how they should reform their economy — apart from the cheerless lecture that going to the Moon is too extravagant. There is no point sacrificing a resonant symbol of US scientific achievement to save a small sum compared to the vast cuts or tax rises the country needs to make elsewhere.
