We all know that the French can be a right shower of bastards when they want to be. Just ask the New Zealanders. Back in 1985, they sank a Greenpeace ship, the Rainbow Warrior, in Auckland Harbour, drowning a photographer in the process.

On Wednesday, Iran spurned a U.N.-brokered deal that would have sent its stockpile of low-enriched uranium out of the country.

OPINION/ANALYSIS: In Washington, it's almost impossible to underestimate how blase officials can become about the most hair-raising news if it involves an entity they believe the U.S. must do business with. Consider Capitol Hill and executive-branch reaction to news of continued Russian assistance to Iran's nuclear weapons program. Rather than open a debate about what Moscow is up to, most officials...
