MID EAST
WILLIAM O BEEMAN, NEW AMERICA MEDIA - The new sanctions are an extension
of a long-standing failed policy first begun under the Reagan
administration, and extended under the Clinton administration. The
United States is acting totally alone; it is not supported by any other
nation.American dealings with Iran have failed in large part because the
United States has never articulated what it wants to accomplish. They
mostly consist of calls for Iran to cease doing things that Iran says it
is not doing in the first place. . . The U.S. sanctions will fail
because Iran still has many friends. Europeans still have extensive
trade with Iran. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently warned the
United States not to think of attacking Iran. . . India has renewed
talks with Iran to establish a pipeline between the two nations. Iran
has a positive balance of trade with China, as well as India.

WAR DEPARTMENT
KIM SENGUPTA, INDEPENDENT, UK - Private armies were not, of course,
invented with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Numidian mercenaries acted
as shock troops in Ramses II's sack of Kadesh in 1294 BC. Hired fighters
helped King David drive the Philistines from Israel in 1000 BC. The
Thirty Years' War was largely fought by privately contracted forces, and
Britain used Hessian soldiers to fight in the American War of
Independence. Machiavelli, in The Prince, castigated mercenaries as
"dangerous, and if anyone supports his state by the arms of mercenaries,
he will never stand firm or sure".

NATURE & ECOLOGY
STEVE CONNOR, INDEPENDENT UK - The first extinction of a primate species
in more than a century is imminent, according to the latest evaluation
of the threat posed to the continued existence of monkeys and apes
around the world. One species of monkey that has not been seen for many
years is already thought to have died out. A detailed assessment of the
394 species of primates from South America to Indonesia has found that
29 per cent are in danger of disappearing due to hunting, habitat loss
and climate change. Some are already on the brink of extinction, it
said. One species, Miss Waldron's red colobus, of the Ivory Coast and
Ghana, is now feared to have become extinct while the golden-headed
langur, of Vietnam, and China's Hainan gibbon are numbered only in their
dozens.
