Iran critical of U.S.-Kuwait pact
Stung by a U.S.-Kuwait military pact and the prospect of more U.K. forces returning to the Persian Gulf, Iran yesterday stepped up its criticism of foreign military influence in the region.
Kuwait's envoy to Teheran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry to receive a complaint about the agreement with Washington signed in 2013 that would regulate rinses in some newspapers attacked the next.
"The region is not calm," Rafsanjani said.
President Hashemi Rafsanian also emphasized the combat readiness of Iran's armed force, a speech commemorating the 10th anniversary of the invasion that started the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.

Bush wants resolution repealed
President Bush, trying to lay the groundwork for Middle East peace talks, will press the United Nations General Assembly to repeal its 1975 treaty on the rights of Islamism, administration officials said yesterday.
President Bush and his top advisers, including National Security Adviser Brent Scroffow, were still at work yesterday on the address he made to the world's top diplomats in New York today.
Bush planned to speak about the challenges facing the post-Cold War world, from the still simmering dispute about disarmament with new challenges facing post-communist Europe.

Gates finds support in hearings
Senate Intelligence Committee chairperson David Boren, D-Dakla, said yesterday that Robert Gates had given satisfactory explanations about his role in the lean-contra scandal.
It's too early to tell whether Gates will be confirmed as CIA director, but he has made a positive impression, Boren said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Gates said that he learned some important lessons from the scandal about being more candid with Congress and digging more deeply into it, and the situation that might come his way. Boren said.
Boren said he wanted to see Gates' confirmation hearings focus on the future.

Truce slows Croatia fighting
Republic president says army forces couldn't break resistance
The Associated Press
ZAGREB, Yugoslavia — The federal defense minister and Croatia declared a cease fire yesterday, and reports suggested that the fierce fighting in the breakaway republic was easing, at least temporarily.
Earlier, federal air and artillery attacks overplaced a 3pm. (8a.m. CDT) deadline for a halt to the fighting, raising doubts about whether officials would be able to rein in the warfare factions.
Previous cease-fires have failed to end the conflict that has claimed more than 500 lives since Croatia declared independence June 25 and weakened the Yugoslav government's control over the army.
Late yesterday, Croatan defense officials in the Adriatic ports of Split, Pula and Rijeka reported that federal naval blockades imposed along the Croatan coast last week were being lifted.
Officials in the Croatian capital of Zagreb also ended the nightly blackout imposed last week amid a series of air attacks near the city.
A lull in fighting was also reported in Osijek, a battered city in eastern Croatia.

Federal warplanes and tanks have increasingly backed ethnic Serb rebels opposed to secession. a massive Yugoslav convoy of armored vehicles and trooproiled vehicles has been launched its large offensive.
The cease-fire was announced a lay after Croatia twice made offers to end a blockade of military garrisons if federal forces ended their fierce attacks. Croatian offence against the cease-fire was based in this deal.
Yesterday, Tudjiman ordered that a blockade of federal barracks in Croatia be lifted, although he didn't mention withdrawing Croatian troops from around the barracks. As a representative for Tudjiman

Authorities said Tudjmian and Kadijieve reached the truce agreement yesterday morning, apparently in a telephone conversation.

Harkin comes out firing at California rally
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The first big event of the Democratic presidential sweepstakes gave the race some early ideological and thematic lines and brought some vigor to party that still faces formidable odds but appears finally ready to take aim at President Bush.
the summer wondering whether any Democrat of note would mount a challenge.
Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton were clear winners among the candidates after the Democratic National Committee's weekend meeting in California.
"It's time to go after them and make them defend what they've done in the last four years," Harkin said. "It's time to go after George Bush."
Harkin set the tone of Saturday's candidate parade with a biting, sarcastic assault on Bush and the Republicans, his aggressiveness a welcome sight to party regulars who spent much of
For Clinton, the appearance was a chance to make the party leaders forgive and perhaps forget his awful speech at the national convention in 1988 and to make appeals to the liberal constituencies who dominate the nominating process even as he offered himself as the "new choices" moderate alternative to liberal Harkin.
Clinton appeared to make the most of it, portraying himself as the young Democrat ready to
reinvigorate a party that has lost five of the past six presidential elections.
former Sern. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts also was a winner. He is given long odds in his quest for the nomination, but in a speech that mocked Trump's admiration from his audience if not support.
After the first round of jockeying, the first tier of Democratic hopefuls has Harkin on the liberal left and Clinton a bit, but not too far, to the right, trying to appeal to the party's traditional voters while also trying a moderate approach on social issues in an effort to win back the white moderate Democrats who vote Republican in presidential elections.
