It is amusing that pro-House of Saud columnists in the Arab media have just started to criticize Bush–few months before the end of his term. Call that courage. But then again: those same people courageously attack House of Saud’s enemies in the Arab media.

“Norwegian Deputy Defense Minister Espen Barth Eide, whose nation launched the negotiations in February 2007, said he was confident that the treaty would discourage the United States, Russia, China, Israel and other proponents of cluster bombs to use the weapons again.” Don’t bet on it.

“Riaz Muhammad Khan earned the ire of Asif Ali Zardari because of his opposition to Zardari’s insistence on a UN investigation into the dastardly assassination of Benazir Bhutto.
