布什总统望外交解决伊朗争端、美国民众为非法移民争取权利

*布什总统望外交解决伊朗争端

布什行政当局表示愿意通过外交手段解决伊朗的核危机，不过布什总统没有排除
以军事行动作为一种手段。白宫发言人斯科特.麦克莱伦说，布什总统不排除任何
可选用的手段，但是他说，最近有关空袭伊朗计划的两篇媒体报导基于他所称的
外界专家“轻率的猜测”。

伊朗总统艾哈迈迪内贾德敦促伊朗人不要害怕，并指称美国开展“心理战”，其
中包括纽约客杂志和华盛顿邮报的两篇报导。

华盛顿指称伊朗利用它的核计划掩盖开发原子弹的活动。伊朗否认这个说法。华
盛顿邮报星期天援引痕7b任和前任的美国国防部官员说，作为以外交手段强迫伊
朗终止其核燃料计划的一部份，五角大楼正研究军事干预的办法。报导还说，看
来美国发动的任何攻击都不可能在短期内发生。

纽约客杂志的一篇援引未说明出处的消息来源的报导说，布什行政当局增加了在
伊朗境内的秘密活动，同时还有可能对那里核设施进行空袭的计划。国际原子能
机构总干事巴拉迪定于本星期前往讨论伊朗同国际原子能机构的合作。国际原子
能机构核查人员星期五抵达伊朗，视察了引起争议的伊斯法罕铀转换设施。访问
日程还包括访问纳坦兹的浓缩铀设施。

预计这个联合国机构将于4月之前就伊朗执行核协议的情况向联合国安理会提交报
告。安理会3月底责令德黑兰停止浓缩铀活动。

President Bush Wants to Settle Iran Dispute Diplomatically

The Bush administration says it wants to settle the Iranian nuclear
crisis through diplomacy, although President Bush has not ruled out a
military option.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan says President Bush is not taking
any options off the table, but he said two recent media reports on plans
for air strikes in Iran were based on what he called "wild speculation"
by outside experts.

Iranian President Mamoud Ahmadinejad urged Iranians not to be afraid and
accused the United States of waging "psychologicial warfare" that
included the reports in the New Yorker magazine and the Washington Post
newspaper.

Washington accuses Iran of using its nuclear program as a cover for
developing an atomic bomb -- a charge Tehran denies. The Washington Post
Sunday quoted current and former U.S. defense officials as saying a
Pentagon study of military options is part of a coercive diplomacy to
get Iran to end its nuclear fuel program. The report also says no U.S.
attack appears likely in the short term.

In a separate report citing unnamed sources, The New Yorker magazine
says the Bush administration has increased clandestine activities inside
Iran as well as planning for possible air strikes on nuclear facilities.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (I.A.E.A.), Mohamed
ElBaradei, is due in Iran this week to discuss cooperation with his
agency. I.A.E.A. inspectors arrived in Iran Friday and have visited
Tehran's uranium conversion facility in Isfahan. A visit to the uranium
enrichment facility in Natanz is also on the agenda.

The U.N. body is expected to provide a report to the U.N. Security
Council by the end of this month on Iran's nuclear compliance. Late last
month, the Council ordered Tehran to stop uranium enrichment.

*美国民众为非法移民争取权利

美国各地的抗议者开始游行，为1100多万非法移民争取更大的权利。今天是“移
民公正全国行动日”，亚特兰大市的示威者身穿白色T恤衫，挥舞美国国旗。首都
华盛顿和其他100多个城市也将有民众上街游行。

星期天，大约35万人在达拉斯市游行，另外几个城市也有人举行了抗议集会。

今天的游行是针对国会众议院一项提案的一系列抗议活动的最新的活动。众议院
提案将非法移民定为重罪，并要求加强边界安全，重罚雇用非法移民的公司。批
评者说，这个提案不公正地把矛头对准了到美国寻找工作的人，这些人大部份是
拉美裔。

US Immigration Protest

Protesters have begun new marches in the United States to demand greater
rights for more than 11 million illegal immigrants. Demonstrators
wearing white t-shirts and waving American flags paraded today (Monday)
in Atlanta as part of the National Day of Action for Immigration
Justice. Marches also were planned in Washington, D.C. and more than 100
other cities.

Some 350-thousand people demonstrated in (the southern city of) Dallas
on Sunday, and protests were held in several other cities.

The marches are the latest in a series of protests against a House of
Representatives proposal that would classify illegal immigrants as
felons. The House bill also would tighten border security and impose
heavy fines on companies that employ illegal immigrants.  Critics say
the proposal is unfairly aimed at mostly Hispanic immigrants who enter
the country to find jobs.
