Twisting Arms

Iran says it's willing to negotiate with the US over its nuclear program. And the UN's not atomic watchdog says any Mideast peace plan must include disarmament for the region.

But former Gen Wesley Clark takes the "not in my backyard strategy." Speaking at an international conference, the former NATO supreme allied commander and Democratic presidential candidate said it'd be in the interest of Arab and Muslim countries to curb Iran's nuke plans.

"Go to your neighbor across the Gulf and say in clear terms: Your efforts to acquire nuclear capabilities are not welcome, they are not appreciated, they won't improve your security and they won't improve our security," Clark said. (MSNBC)
