"Each year, hundreds of
thousands of students from all over the world come to the
United States to study. International students bring a
special perspective, enriching college life for all
students.
Higher education in America works differently from systems
in other countries. The United States has a highly
decentralized system that gives students a wide range of
educational options, from large universities to community
colleges to vocational and technical schools. While the U.S.
Department of Education provides support and funding for
higher education, we do not act as a central authority.
Colleges and universities are mostly self-governing and have
significant independence and freedom" -
Margaret Spellings, Secretary of Education

ABSTRACT
Would a nuclear-armed Iran endanger the United States?
The Bush administration is turning up the heat on Iran. In October
President Bush said Iran's nuclear program raised the specter of
World War III. Then Vice President Cheney warned of "serious
consequences" if Iran stayed on course as a "terror-supporting
state." The heated rhetoric is widely seen as calculated to raise
the specter of military action against Iran. Indeed, President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calls the United States an international bully
that's keeping Iraq violent to justify continued occupation. He also
vows to maintain Iran's nuclear development program, which he says
is not for creating weapons. But many observers — Israelis
particularly — see the effort as a grave threat, prompting some U.S.
hawks to advocate a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Other Iran-watchers say military action could further endanger U.S.
forces fighting next door in Iraq. They urge the administration to
aid dissidents rather than counter Iran by military force.
