REUTERS: U.S. Refuses to Rule Out Iran Attack

The United States is determined to stop Iran getting atomic weapons, and has signalled Washington will not rule out an attack if peaceful diplomacy failed to achieve this.

President George W. Bush's top official on nuclear on-proliferation, Undersecretary of State John Bolton, was asked during a brief visit to Israel if the United States could consider such an attack.

"President Bush is determined to try and find a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the problem of Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons," he said. "But we are determined that they are not going to achieve a nuclear weapons capability."

Iraq conflicts spur interest in Arabic classes

INDIANAPOLIS Terrorism and the war in Iraq are fueling demand for Arabic classes at Indiana colleges.

At Indiana University, the number of introductory Arabic classes has doubled since the September Eleventh terrorist attacks.

And Arabic is the fastest-growing language program at Purdue University.

Interest in the programs has risen steadily since the 2001 attacks as government agencies, including the F-B-I, have called for more Arabic speakers.

Nationwide, the number of college students taking Arabic in fall of 2002 was nearly twice what it was four years earlier. That's according to the Modern Language Association, a New York-based group that promotes the study of language and literature.

John Walbridge is the chairman of I-U's Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. He says students no longer ask him why they have to "know this stuff."
