Maybe not. Since then, however, the bluster coming from Tehran has faded - and a consensus imposed from above may be forming. Instead of a rejection, Iran seems to be formulating a counter-proposal, one that conservative newspaper Keyhan described as a "gradual and simultaneous" exchange of enriched uranium with the West. Uranium would be sent abroad in two stages, not all at once, and any nuclear material shipped outside of Iran must be simultaneously exchanged for the enriched nuclear fuel Iran needs for domestic use.

Industry insiders expect the IMO will also cap greenhouse-gas emissions. "If the shipping industry was a country, it would...
...Italian peninsula was a poverty-stricken place with weak governments, meaning that the family was the only source of protection and economic support for people. More recently, psychologists and economists believe the mammone problem is rooted in the economic precariousness of a debt-ridden nation that has been in gradual decline since its post-World War II boom. Religious values are still strong too. Until the 1960s, the Roman Catholic Church explicitly encouraged a family structure based around a working father and a stay-at-home mother.
