The current issue of Time magazine contains an interview with Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, recently conducted in Havana. It's fascinating stuff. Also, there's a story outlining a plan for possible military action against Iran.

It's hard to believe America would contemplate such an action on behalf of Israel, but these are strange times.

From the same issue, here is an article about Hugo Chavez's speech to the UN in New York--in which he refers to President Bush as the devil. Worth reading:

Chavez is one of the world's great statesmen, IMO.
