Iran Makes the Sciences A Part of Its Revolution

Iran's determination to develop what it says is a nuclear energy program is part of a broader effort to promote technological self-sufficiency and to see Iran recognized as one of the world's most advanced nations.

Blog Buzz: Iran, the Obamas, and Kennedy

NRO's Jim Geraghty wants to know: If only Nixon could go to China, who has the cred to go to Iran? (Hint: The Iranian leadership probably wouldn't want to take him hunting.) Speaking of meeting with adversaries, NRO colleague Andrew Stuttaford notes that Nixon met with Castro in 1959, but Mark Steyn (also NRO), says that Nixon/Castro is the wrong analogy—that people should think instead of Kurt Waldheim whose "relatively minor sin of biographical omission relating to his military service in a war that had ended four decades earlier" brought opprobrium upon him.
