US long-range planners focus on containment of a nuclear Iran

Article Abstract:

The long-range planners and policymakers in the US are focusing on assessing and containing the long-term consequences of a nuclear Iran. Iran is considered unlikely to declare, test or use its nuclear arsenal as a coercive tool, but as a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it is legally allowed to develop nuclear technologies under appropriate International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards.

Losing ground: The future of central government in Iraq

Article Abstract:

Country risk modeling is used to examine various factors linked to Nouri al-Maliki's government that are likely to affect Iraq's risk environment in 2007, as well as Iraq's current risk environment. It is concluded that the Iraqi Prime Minister might achieve only a fraction of his reconciliation and security milestones in 2007 because the country will be more violent due to sectarian and factional fighting as local power arrangements will find a natural balance.
