Mossad Cutting Back on Covert Operations
Inside Iran, Officials Say
Karl Vick
EFTA00718929
March 30, 2012 -- Israel's intelligence services have scaled back covert
operations inside Iran, ratcheting down by "dozens of percent" in recent
months secret efforts to disable or delay the enemy state's nuclear
program, senior Israeli security officials tell TIME. The reduction runs
across a wide spectrum of operations, cutting back not only alleged high-
profile missions such as assassinations and detonations at Iranian missile
bases, but also efforts to gather firsthand on-the-ground intelligence and
recruit spies inside the Iranian program, according to the officials.
The new hesitancy has caused "increasing dissatisfaction" inside Mossad,
Israel's overseas spy agency, says one official. Another senior security
officer attributes the reluctance to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
who the official describes as worried about the consequences of a covert
operation being discovered or going awry. Netanyahu was Prime Minister
in 1997 when a Mossad attempt to assassinate senior Hamas official
Khaled Meshaal in Amman Jordan ended in fiasco. Two Mossad
operatives were captured after applying a poison to Meshaal's skin, and
returned to Israel only after Netanyahu ordered the release of the antidote.
The Prime Minister also was forced to release Hamas' spiritual leader
Sheik Ahmed Yassin from an Israeli prison, dramatically boosting the
fortunes of the religious militant movement.
"Bibi is traumatized from the Meshaal incident," the official says. "He is
afraid of another failure, that something will blow up in his face."
Iranian intelligence already has cracked one cell trained and equipped by
Mossad, Western intelligence officials earlier confirmed to TIME. The
detailed confession on Iranian state television last year by Majid Jamali
Fashid for the January 2010 assassination by motorcycle bomb of nuclear
scientist Massoud Ali Mohmmadi was genuine, those officials said,
blaming a third country for exposing the cell.
In that case, the public damage to Israel was circumscribed by the limits
of Iran's credibility: Officials in Tehran routinely blame setbacks of all
stripes on the "Zionists" and "global arrogance," their labels for Israel and
the United States. But that could change if the Islamic Republic produced
a captured Israeli national or other direct evidence — something on the
lines of the closed circuit video footage and false passports that recorded
the presence of Mossad agents in the Dubai hotel where Hamas arms
runner Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found dead in his room in January
EFTA00718930
2010. Difficult-to-deny evidence of Israeli involvement trickled out for
weeks; Netanyahu was Prime Minister then as well.
The stakes are higher now. With the Iranian issue at the forefront of the
international agenda, a similar embarrassment could undo the impressive
global front Washington has assembled against the mullahs — perhaps by
allowing Iran to cast itself as victim, or simply by recasting the nuclear
issue itself, from one of overarching global concern into a contest
confined to a pair of longtime enemies.
Some warn that the assassinations already run that risk. After the most
recent killing, of nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan in January, the
United States "categorically" denied involvement in the death and issued
a condemnation. Western intelligence officials say he was at least the third
Iranian scientist killed by Mossad operatives, who lately are running short
of new targets, according to Israeli officials.
"It undercuts the consensus, the international consensus on sanctions,"
says Mark Fitzpatrick, a former State Department nuclear proliferation
specialist who opposes the assassinations.
The covert campaign also invites retribution from Iran's own far-reaching
underground. In the space of just days last month, alleged Iranian plots
against Israeli targets in Thailand, Azerbaijan, Singapore and Georgia
were announced as thwarted, and Indian officials blamed Iran for a nearly
fatal attack that went forward in New Delhi. The wife of an Israeli
diplomat was injured by a magnetic bomb attached to her car by a passing
motorcyclist, the precise method Israeli agents are alleged to have used
repeatedly on the crowded streets of Tehran.
But scaling back covert operations against Iran also carries costs,
especially as Iran hurries to disperse its centrifuges, some into facilities
deep underground. Quoting an intelligence finding, one Israeli official
says Iran itself estimates that sabotage to date has set back its centrifuge
program by two full years. The computer virus known as Stuxnet — a
joint effort by intelligence services in Israel and a European nation,
Western intelligence officials say — is only the best known of a series of
efforts to slow the Iranian program, dating back years. That alleged effort
involves a variety of governments besides Israel, involving equipment
made to purposely malfunction after being tampered with before it
physically entered Iran. The resulting setbacks prompted Iran to announce
EFTA00718931
it would manufacture all components of its nuclear program itself —
something outside experts are highly skeptical Tehran has the ability to
actually do.
"Iran has said for some time that they're self-sufficient, but that's a bag of
wind," says Fitzpatrick, now at London's International Institute for
Strategic Studies. For example, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad
in February announced that Iran had perfected a far more efficient
centrifuge — a "fourth-generation" machine, three levels beyond its
original centrifuges, made from designs purchased from Pakistan's A.Q.
Khan. Fitzpatrick has his doubts. "They haven't been able to get the
second generation to work over the last ten years," he says.
The alternative is importing equipment, which leaves the product
vulnerable to continued tampering — especially in the shadowy markets
of front companies where Iran has been forced by U.S. and international
sanctions to do much of its business. It can be almost impossible to know
whom you're actually doing business with, a circumstance that favors
Western intelligence agencies.
"The easiest way to sabotage is to introduce faulty parts into the inventory
from abroad," says Fitzpatrick.
Between assassination and silent sabotage lies another covert option: Very
loud sabotage. Recent years have brought a series of mysterious
explosions at complexes associated with Iran's nuclear program. TIME
has reported Western sources saying that Israel was responsible for the
massive November blast at a Revolutionary Guard missile base outside
Tehran, which by dumb luck also claimed the life of the godfather of
Iran's missile program.
But other blasts remain genuine mysteries. Weeks after a huge explosion
darkened the sky over a uranium enrichment site in Isfahan, in central
Iran, Israeli officials appeared eager to see what had actually happened.
"I'm not sure what," a retired senor intelligence official said two weeks
afterward, then offered an analysis based on open-source satellite photos
available to anyone with an internet connection.

Obama Finds Oil in Markets Is Sufficient to
Sideline Iran
Annie Lowrey
March 30, 2012 — After careful analysis of oil prices and months of
negotiations, President Obama on Friday determined that there was
sufficient oil in world markets to allow countries to significantly reduce
their Iranian imports, clearing the way for Washington to impose severe
new sanctions intended to slash Iran's oil revenue and press Tehran to
abandon its nuclear ambitions.
The White House announcement comes after months of back-channel
talks to prepare the global energy market to cut Iran out — but without
raising the price of oil, which would benefit Iran and harm the economies
of the United States and Europe.
Since the sanctions became law in December, administration officials
have encouraged oil exporters with spare capacity, particularly Saudi
Arabia, to increase their production. They have discussed with Britain and
France releasing their oil reserves in the event of a supply disruption.
And they have conducted a high-level campaign of shuttle diplomacy to
try to persuade other countries, like China, Japan and South Korea, to buy
less oil and demand discounts from Iran, in compliance with the
sanctions.
The goal is to sap the Iranian government of oil revenue that might go to
finance the country's nuclear program. Already, the pending sanctions
have led to a decrease in oil exports and a sharp decline in the value of the
country's currency, the rial, against the dollar and euro.
Administration officials described the Saudis as willing and eager, at least
since talks started last fall, to undercut the Iranians.
One senior official who had met with the Saudi leadership, said: "There
was no resistance. They are more worried about a nuclear Iran than the
Israelis are."
Still officials said, the administration wanted to be sure that the Saudis
were not talking a bigger game than they could deliver. The Saudis
received a parade of visitors, including some from the Energy
EFTA00718933
Department, to make the case that they had the technical capacity to pump
out significantly more oil.
But some American officials remain skeptical. That is one reason Mr.
Obama left open the option of reviewing this decision every few months.
"We won't know what the Saudis can do until we test it, and we're about
to," the official said.
Worldwide demand for oil was another critical element of the equation
that led to the White House decision on sanctions. Now, projections for
demand are lower than expected because of the combination of rising oil
prices, theEuropean financial crisis and a modest slowdown in growth in
China.
As one official said, "No one wants to wish for slowdown, but demand
may be the most important factor."
Nonetheless, the sanctions pose a serious challenge for the United States.
Already, concerns over a confrontation with Iran and the loss of its oil —
Iran was the third-biggest exporter of crude in 2010 — have driven oil
prices up about 20 percent this year.
A gallon of gas currently costs $3.92, on average, up from about $3.20 a
gallon in December. The rising prices have weighed on economic
confidence and cut into household budgets, a concern for an Obama
administration seeking re-election.
On Friday afternoon, oil prices on commodity markets closed at $103.02 a
barrel, up 24 cents for the day.
Moreover, the new sanctions — which effectively force countries to
choose between doing business with the United States and buying oil
from Iran — threaten to fray diplomatic relationships with close allies that
buy some of their crude from Tehran, like South Korea.
But in a conference call with reporters, senior administration officials said
they were confident that they could put the sanctions in effect without
damaging the global economy.
Iran currently exports about 2.2 million barrels of crude oil a day,
according to the economic analysis company IHS Global Insight, and
other oil producers will look to make up much of that capacity, as
countries buy less and less oil from Iran. A number of countries are
producing more petroleum, including the United States itself, which
should help to make up the gap.
EFTA00718934
Most notably, Saudi Arabia, the world's single biggest producer, has
promised to pump more oil to bring prices down.
"There is no rational reason why oil prices are continuing to remain at
these high levels," the Saudi oil minister, Ali Naimi, wrote in an opinion
article in The Financial Times this week. "I hope by speaking out on the
issue that our intentions — and capabilities — are clear," he said. "We
want to see stronger European growth and realize that reasonable crude
oil prices are key to this."
By certifying that there is enough supply available, the administration is
also trying to gain some leverage over Iran before a resumption of
negotiations, expected on April 14.
The suggestion that Saudi Arabia is prepared to make up for any lost
Iranian production is intended to remove Iran's ability to threaten a major
disruption in the world oil supply if it does not cede to Western and
United Nations demands to halt uranium enrichment.
However, administration officials concede that it is unclear how the oil
markets will react to Iranian threats even with the president's latest
certification that there is sufficient oil to fill the gap. "We just don't know
how much negotiating advantage we have gained," said one senior
administration official who has been involved in developing the policy.
In a statement, Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, said the
administration acknowledged that the oil market had become increasingly
tight, with output just besting demand.
"Nonetheless, there currently appears to be sufficient supply of non-
Iranian oil to permit foreign countries" to cut imports, he said.
American officials have also discussed a coordinated release of oil from
the national strategic reserves with French and British officials.
Some energy experts question whether Saudi Arabia really has enough
spare capacity to make up for the loss of Iran's oil. But the determination
of the United States and Europe to combat high prices might be enough to
quiet the markets.
The White House "can have a very limited material impact on the size of
supplies," said David J. Rothkopf, the president of Garten Rothkopf, a
Washington-based consultancy. "But they can have a much larger impact
on perceptions. In this case, it's not so much the producers as the energy
EFTA00718935
traders who are moving market prices — and that's where the White
House wants to play a role."
Additionally, the White House has the ability under the law to waive the
new sanctions if they threaten national security or if oil prices spurt,
increasing the flow of money to Iran's government.
The National Interest
The Increasingly Transparent U.S.-Israeli
Conflict of Interest
Paul R. Pillar
March 29, 2012 -- We have a comparative lull at the moment in what has
been saturation attention to Iran and its nuclear program. The lull comes
after the concentrated warmongering rhetoric associated with the recent
visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the AIPAC
conference in Washington, and before the opening in mid-April of the
only channel offering a way out of the impasse associated with the Iranian
nuclear issue: direct negotiations between Iran and the powers known as
the P5+1. It is a good time to reflect on how much the handling of this
issue underscores the gulf between Israeli policies and U.S. interests. The
gulf exists for two reasons. One is that the Netanyahu government's
policies reflect only a Rightist slice of the Israeli political spectrum, with
which many Israelis disagree and which is contrary to broader and longer-
term interests of Israel itself. The other reason is that even broadly defined
Israeli interests will never be congruent with U.S. interests. This should
hardly be surprising. There is no reason to expect the interests of the
world superpower to align with those of any of the parties to a regional
dispute involving old ethnically or religiously based claims to land.
An article this week by Ethan Bronner [3] in the New York Times
addresses one of the drivers behind the Israeli policy: a historically based
obsession of Mr. Netanyahu, for whom an Iranian nuclear weapon would
be, as Bronner puts it, "the 21st-century equivalent of the Nazi war
machine and the Spanish Inquisition." The extent to which the issue is a
personal compulsion of Netanyahu is reflected in estimates that even
within his own cabinet (and even with the support of Defense Minister
EFTA00718936
Ehud Barak), a vote in favor of war with Iran might be as close as eight to
six. A former Likud activist who has become a critic of Netanyahu
explains, "Bibi is a messianist. He believes with all his soul and every last
molecule of his being that he—I don't quite know how to express it—is
King David." It is not in a superpower's interest to get sucked into
projects of someone with a King David complex.
Given—as several Israelis who have been senior figures in the country's
security establishment have noted—that an Iranian nuclear weapon would
not pose an existential threat to Israel, one has to look to other reasons for
the Israeli agitation about the Iranian nuclear program. Besides
Netanyahu's personal obsession, there are the broader Israeli fears and
emotions, the desire to maintain a regional nuclear-weapons monopoly
and the distraction that the Iran issue provides from outside attention to
the Palestinians' lack of popular sovereignty. Columnist Richard Cohen, in
a piece last week [4] that is clearly sympathetic to Israel, mentions one
more reason: a desire to stem a brain drain to the United States of Israelis
who would rather live in a more secure place. Clearly there is no
congruence with U.S. interests here. In fact, taking in the talent that is
found among the Israeli émigrés is a net plus for the United States and the
U.S. economy.
The Iranian nuclear issue only reconfirms the noncongruence of U.S. and
Israeli interests that should have been apparent from other issues. Most of
those issues revolve around the continued Israeli occupation and
colonization of disputed land inhabited by Palestinians. The United States
has no positive interest in Israel clinging to that land—only the negative
interest involving the opprobrium and anger directed at it for being so
closely associated with Israeli policies and actions. Another reminder of
the lonely position in which the United States finds itself almost every
time it automatically condones Israeli behavior came last week, when the
United Nations Human Rights Council voted [5] for an inquiry into how
Israeli settlements in the occupied territories affect the rights of
Palestinians. Initiation of the inquiry was approved with thirty-six votes in
favor, ten abstentions and a single no vote by the United States.
If the United States escapes a war with Iran by achieving success in
negotiations (which Netanyahu and his government have in effect
denounced and have helped to subvert by waging a covert war against
EFTA00718937
Iran), Americans ought to reflect on how close they came to disaster by
following the man who thinks he is King David. If it does not escape a
war, it will be hard to find any silver lining in the consequences. But
perhaps one would be that Americans would then be more likely to
understand how contrary to their own interests it has been to follow the
preferences of the Israeli government. Perhaps that could be a first step
toward a more normal—and more beneficial for the United States—U.S.
relationship with Israel.

Hezbollah's subtle shift on Syria
Nicholas Noe
March 30, 2012 -- After one year of doubling down on their support for
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Lebanon's Hezbollah has finally shifted
its public position on the regime, albeit with great subtlety and in an
extremely measured fashion. The pivot point came during a lengthy,
televised speech delivered on March 15 by the party's longstanding
secretary-general, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah. Speaking to hundreds of
students mainly on the subject of illiteracy and the dire need for greater
access to education in the Arab world, Nasrallah eventually turned to the
anti-government protests in Syria that began in March 2011.
Almost from the outset, he was especially frank in equating the opposition
and the Assad regime, urging -- even pleading for -- a negotiated political
solution where both sides first "simultaneously" lay down their weapons
(a call subsequently made by the U.N. Security Council). "These matters
cannot be dealt with by fighting, confrontations, wars, or by inviting
foreign military intervention," Nasrallah stressed, an intimation that, while
some in the opposition should be blamed for calling for external
intervention, the regime also bore at least some responsibility, since its
actions had (quite obtusely) moved the possibility of intervention to the
EFTA00718938
forefront of the international discourse. But he had more specific demands
of the regime, too.
"All forms of massacres and the targeting of civilians and innocent people
are to be condemned," he said. "Now the opposition is accusing the
regime and the regime is accusing the opposition. One of the regime's
responsibilities today is to present the facts to the people. Those who have
the facts should present them. Leveling accusations left and right is an
easy thing to do but the main thing is that the massacres deserve to be
condemned...All forms of killing must stop [emphasis added]."
What explains his heightened sense of urgency on these matters -- ever a
function of the many constituencies that he must constantly juggle?
Nasrallah argued that a great unravelling in the Middle East accompanied
by extreme violence is fast coming into focus."We are apprehensive," he
said, "that Syria, and hence the region, might be divided. We are afraid of
a civil war, anarchy, and the weakening of Syria and its position as a pan-
Arab force in the Arab-Israeli struggle and a genuine backer for the
resistance movements in the region [emphasis added]." Of course,
Nasrallah has long acknowledged these concerns, and said, during his
speech, that he was merely reiterating this specific point of concern.
What was different, however, was that alongside an unmistakable sense of
alarm was an acknowledgement that, after months of predicting the
regime would get the upper hand, the situation has instead stalled just at
the edge of chaos. The critical question that now follows is how will
Hezbollah approach a further deterioration in Syria -- a still likely
outcome -- in the coming phase?
Unfortunately for proponents of militarizing the situation, and also those
hopeful of violently "declawing" Hezbollah, Nasrallah's new rhetoric does
not aid the oft-repeated assertion that, in the event of a bloody Syrian
regime collapse, Hezbollah would just absorb the major strategic and
ideological blow with a minimal (or symbolic) response. (The corollary
myth, it should be pointed out, has been that Iran would similarly limit its
response in a militarized event and that Assad diehards, for their part,
would also not want or be able to do much harm in their waning
moments).
Indeed, he suggested that Hezbollah, together with "the part of the Syrian
people" who steadfastly reject what the party believes is essentially a pro-
EFTA00718939
Zionist push for supremacy over the Levant, will necessarily be forced to
use counterforce at some point -- the logic of resistance -- to defend
mutual interests so clearly threatened by a direct attack on the regime.
"We tell our Syrian bothers," Nasrallah clarified, "people, regime, state,
army, parties, and political forces -- your blood is our blood, your future is
our future, your life is our life, and our security and fate are one."
Ironically then, Nasrallah actually ends up where so many regime
opponents who believe in a direct confrontation are now: in the absence of
a viable political track, the only way to stave off total chaos, massive
violence, and a collapse of one's vital interests will be to introduce
decisive counter-violence to the picture.
What is perhaps new here -- and more frightening -- is that Nasrallah now
also seems publicly concerned that the Assad regime, and not just the
opposition and its external allies, are pushing everyone along a path to
war, including Hezbollah. The brutal truth then for Nasrallah is that after
having so tightly wed his party to Assad, Hezbollah's own agency in these
vital matters -- existential matters as he repeatedly declares -- has been
severely undercut. This means that even if Hezbollah would prefer to keep
relatively quiet in the event of a violent regime collapse, Nasrallah feels
he might now have no choice in the matter if things continue as they have.
After all, if we only take his suggestion that Assad's forces are killing
women and children in cold blood, then the party understands perfectly
well that this regime will also have little regard for sucking its ally into a
regional conflict whose timing, scope, and terrain the party would
realistically prefer to avoid for now.
As if this was not enough, Hezbollah also knows that there are a multitude
of ways by which Assad and his minions could go about accomplishing
this task with relative ease -- not least by pulling Israel and Hezbollah into
yet another conflict which both parties ideologically crave and which both
will be enormously hard pressed to limit, given the underlying mechanics
of the relationship.
Even so, all may not be lost or given over only to even more violence.
Assad's regime has been significantly weakened over the past few months,
evidently less as a result of any fighting and external intervention than as
a result of its own wanton and strategically stupid actions. It may have the
upper hand, at least for the moment, on the field of battle, but it has done
EFTA00718940
enormous damage to its moral, ideological, economic, political, and
diplomatic standing.
Further, Hamas has abandoned Assad. Russia and China have at least
some limits to their support, even if these are only slowly coming into
focus. And Nasrallah, still one of the most popular leaders in the Middle
East, is apparently trying to grab back some leverage over the pace of
events by publically rebuking the regime to stop fanning the violence
before it's logic overwhelms everyone and Hezbollah is forced, willingly
or not, to "resist." Crucially, too, the United States has privately and
publically rejected the path of increased militarization of the Syrian
conflict and even signaled a willingness to step back from the demand
Assad himself must go as a precondition for any political process.
When you add up all of these factors, now might be exactly the time to get
the severely wounded regime caught up in a concerted international
process that begins protecting Syrians while slowly and steadily draining
Assad's ability and desire to exercise violence. This may not be an ideal
situation since the regime's brutality will likely continue and the
democratic aspirations of Syrians will only be met gradually. But the
alternative of full-blown civil war, and quite possibly a regional war,
would be far worse.
Hezbollah, for one, now seems ready to succumb to this logic -- and
encourage the regime to bend -- if such a process rejects the use and
encouragement of more direct violence. Without this key proviso,
however, Nasrallah will likely find himself in the distasteful position of
going to battle on the side of an ally that has done so much to undermine
the party's claim to represent the weak and the oppressed.

Will The Lady Rule Burma?
EFTA00718941
Timothy Garton Ash
March 29, 2012 -- If Aung San Suu Kyi is elected to Burma's parliament
on Sunday, the world will inevitably ask: Has Asia's Nelson Mandela
finally met her President F.W. de Klerk? Or, if you prefer a European
comparison, has Asia's Vaclav Havel met her Mikhail Gorbachev? Cue
episode three in the world's prisoner-to-president sagas?
I do believe that day will come, but let us have no illusions: There are still
major obstacles ahead. Wisdom and strength, both inside and outside
Burma, will be needed to surmount them.
Whatever happens, Suu Kyi has long since earned the Havel and Mandela
comparisons. Like Mandela, she has endured decades of imprisonment,
emerging with an extraordinary lack of rancor. Like Havel, she has not
only been her country's leading dissident but also analyzed its political
and social condition in a universal frame. Listen to the first of the two
BBC Reith lectures she delivered last year. Read her free-speech
manifesto in the magazine Index on Censorship. These are classics of
modern dissident political writing, with a new dimension because she
speaks always as a devout Buddhist.
Intellectually and morally, there is no comparison between her and
Burma's (a.k.a. Myanmar's) military leader in a civilian suit, President
Thein Sein.
Politically, however, the opening he has created is remarkable. Hundreds
of political prisoners have been released, including some from the
important 88 Generation student movement and monks who were active
in the so-called saffron revolution of 2007. The military junta has
retreated behind a cloak of civilian politics. Freedom of expression and
assembly has exploded, though the legal basis for it is still insecure.
Activists have been catapulted from the darkness of a prison cell to the
blinding flash of paparazzi bulbs.
Remarkably, Thein Sein has risked the wrath of China, Burma's would-be
big brother, by suspending construction of the Chinese-funded Myitsone
hydroelectric dam. (The energy would have gone mainly to China, the
environmental cost to Burma.) He has sought cease-fires with insurgent
minority groups, though some armed conflict continues. Suu Kyi's
National League for Democracy has been allowed to register as a party. It
EFTA00718942
has put up candidates in Sunday's elections for 47 of the 48 available seats
in the lower house of parliament. Large crowds hail one of those
candidates as a savior wherever she goes.
If you had suggested any of this four years ago, as the saffron revolution
was brutally crushed, no one would have believed you. Every velvet
revolution, every negotiated transition, requires figures in both the regime
and the opposition who are ready to take the risk of engagement. At last,
Burma seems to have its two to tango.
Now for the warning notes. Both leaders are indeed taking a big risk. The
regime's chief astrologer —Burmese rulers favor astrologers over
economists — has reportedly predicted that Thein Sein will fall ill this
summer.
That illness may be political, if the grossly self-enriched military feels its
vital interests are threatened. Just a few days ago, the head of the army
warned that the military's special position, enshrined in the 2008
constitution, must be respected.
For Suu Kyi , the risks are also great. The NLD leader recently had to
suspend her campaign, apparently worn out by the heat, crowds and
exertion. If some on the regime side add electoral fraud to media
manipulation, what will she say? Even if the NLD wins all the seats it is
contesting, it will have just over 10% of a lower house dominated by the
military-created Union Solidarity and Development Party, with 110 seats
(one in four) reserved for military appointees. The next general election is
not till 2015.
Popular hopes of her miracle-working powers are exceeded only by the
scale of the country's problems. Central to those problems, as in Egypt,
are the economic privileges of the military. "I don't want to ask what you
need before the election," she told voters at an orphanage, "but I will
afterward; I promise to come back soon." But what if she can't, being
stuck in parliamentary committees in the remote, artificial government
city of Naypyidaw? What if she knows the people's needs but cannot
supply them?
Sympathetic observers say she risks exchanging one kind of
powerlessness for another.
Then there is the complex relationship with the ethnic minorities that
make up about one-third of the country's population. And there is China,
EFTA00718943
which is hardly going to welcome the emergence of a shining, Western-
oriented democracy on its doorstep.
Against this, however, there are grounds for optimism. The NLD may not
have the kind of organization the African National Congress had in South
Africa, but, as Havel showed in Czechoslovakia, mass organizations can
emerge with remarkable speed in velvet revolutionary times. There is the
social and moral force of the country's Buddhist monks. (I challenge any
Burmese general to sneer, "How many divisions has the Buddha?") The
regime is clearly keen to get European and American sanctions lifted, so
there is some leverage there.
Then there is the country's other mighty neighbor, India, which might at
long last choose to encourage next door what it practices at home:
democracy. There is the popular momentum that such processes acquire,
once begun. And there is The Lady herself, a treasure without price.
Astrologers do, after all, make mistakes. Even political scientists have
been known to err in their predictions. On what we know today, it looks as
if her road from prison to presidency has difficult turns and harsh
gradients ahead; 2015 may be a more realistic target date than 2013.
And that end will itself, as Havel and Mandela discovered, only be a
beginning.

Does the BRICS Group Matter?
Interview with Martin Wolf
March 30, 2012 -- The group of fast-growing emerging markets known as
the BRICS=-Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa--held their
fourth annual summit this past week in New Delhi. The leaders of the five
nations agreed on new measures to facilitate greater trade within the bloc,
EFTA00718944
including a deal to extend credit facilities in the local currencies of other
BRICS countries. They also discussed a potential plan to set up a joint
BRICS development bank, which would serve as a counterweight to the
Western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
However, the BRICS have not set out a comprehensive long-term agenda
because they are hobbled by internal differences and have "nothing in
common," argues the Financial limes' Martin Wolf
What are the prospects for a BRICS development bank?
It's not completely obvious to me what it could achieve, given that we
have the World Bank and a whole network of big regional development
banks. There are big questions about the governance of those institutions,
and in particular, the continued domination of the developed countries.
The BRICS collectively would be able to shake that if they really try to do
so. What's not clear to me is whether this is a bank that would operate
everywhere using BRICS money in some way, or whether it would be a
BRIC bank. We have enough official banks, and it would make far more
sense to improve the governance of what we have than to start creating
completely new institutions.
What is the significance of the fact that the BRICS did not put
forward a candidate for the World Bank presidency, and is it clear
where they stand vis-à-vis the U.S. nominee?
The BRICS are not a group. The BRICS were invented by Jim O'Neil [of
Goldman Sachs, in 2001]. They added South Africa to the BRICS [last
year], which wasn't originally there, to give some representation of Africa.
These countries have basically nothing in common whatsoever, except
that they are called BRICS and they are quite important. But in all other
respects, their interests and values, political systems, and objectives are
substantially diverse. So there's no reason whatsoever to expect them to
agree on anything substantive in the world, except that the existing
dominating powers should cede some of their influence and power. That's
the one thing they have in common.
Secondly, the grouping has very specific jealousies within it, particularly
the two most powerful members--in terms of their potential, anyway--
EFTA00718945
China and India. There's a lot of mistrust between the two, and [it would
be] very difficult for them to agree on a candidate. Third, at this stage, I
don't think they are particularly interested in quixotic battles. They know
the U.S. is likely to get European support. They probably don't regard
this--none of the countries individually or collectively--as a first-class
issue to use their capital on in a big way. In time, voting shares are going
to be adjusted, so sooner or later, the big countries are going to get the
power that they need. It's a matter of continuous pressure over time, so
why fight this battle now when they don't really care what happens in the
World Bank? Because these countries are not very dependent on the
World Bank.
There's no reason to expect them to agree on anything substantive in the
world, except that the existing dominating powers should cede some of
their influence and power.
What are some objectives that the BRICS agree upon, besides getting
the West to cede power?
Quite a number of them tend to complain about Western protectionism.
They obviously are interested in developing trade amongst themselves;
that's a potential area of cooperation. But I don't regard the BRICS as a
grouping of natural fellows. They are very, very different politically, in
terms of their development potential, in terms of the economic
fundamentals they have--and they have quite a few conflicts among them.
There's also been criticism by the BRICS that Western monetary
policy has been too loose, and has hurt developing countries. What do
you make of that?
I should have added that as one of the complaints. The answer to that is:
"Who the hell cares?" Western policy is made in light of what the Western
countries see as their interests. And these countries make their monetary
policy in light of their interests. There is no global monetary system at all,
of any kind, that disciplines this. So the reality is [that] we live in
monetary policy anarchy, from a global point of view, in which each
country pursues its own interest. So I regard these as completely fruitless
complaints, unless we start thinking about a total reordering of the global
EFTA00718946
monetary system, which these countries don't want any more than the
developed countries want because they would all lose sovereignty.
I think the developed countries' monetary policies are reasonable, given
their circumstances. At least implicitly, there's actually some concern
about the monetary policies of some BRICS among other BRICS. For
example, it's pretty clear Brazil is concerned about Chinese currency
intervention. Finally, part of this is scapegoating--unpleasant things
happen to you, your exchange rate appreciates too much, there's some
inflation in the world, you have to find someone to blame--it's very
convenient to blame the monetary policy of the developed world. In most
of these cases, the connection is really not that o L LS, I J e 1-S4i f
