Vienna (AFP) Nov 26, 2007The UN atomic watchdog declined to comment Monday on claims by Iran that it was now in a position to make its own fuel for a 40-megawatt heavy water research reactor under construction in the centre of the country. The International Atomic Energy Agency was similarly tight-lipped on a statement from Tehran, which said that the IAEA had formally closed two key dossiers in its long-running inv ... more Commentary: New geoeconomic paradigm 
Washington (UPI) Nov 26, 2007 In Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and the Far East, the correlation of geoeconomic forces appears to be moving against the United States. And greed, the Rh-negative bloodstream of democratic capitalism, is what triggered a global subprime mortgage fiasco, which, in turn, pushed the dollar right off its pedestal. Wall Street's largest banks lost $50 billion, with Citigroup ... more The Plan To Destroy OPEC

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Nov 26, 2007The space industry has lived up to its reputation. The fact that the international Sea Launch program has been able to survive its appalling January 30 disaster that badly damaged the Odyssey floating platform and is back in action less than a year later is worthy of respect. It does not matter that the launch of a multi-ton Arab communications satellite - the first since the accident - has been ... more Analysis: China eyes new Russian tech 
Hong Kong (UPI) Nov 23, 2007 A Chinese military source based in Beijing has said the People's Liberation Army Air Force is negotiating with the Russian Sukhoi Aircraft Company on three new projects.

It's not the desert of "Lawrence of Arabia," with soft sand, camels and dunes. It's more of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti Western variety. And Mar ... more US 'listens' to Russian concern on missile defence: Putin
