White-knuck- led passengers hold fast. Tailpipes cough soot. Drivers grimace. Pedes- trians scramble. Too often, three or four buses at a time jockey for fares on haphaz- ardly oversubscribed routes. The drivers are in a perpetual race. If they don’t meet a daily pas- senger quota, they don’t get paid. So they put in nerve-racking 16-hour days and work seven-day weeks. Peru’s capital is afflicted by an anarchic, corrupt transit system the city’s freshman mayor calls a shameful menace. She is promising, against tall odds, to fix it and the traffic chaos that might well lead the region in motorized hostility to pedestrians, cyclists and human lungs. “I’d say the city is in serious col- lapse, given the quantity of vehicles, their age and the notorious absence of operating rules,” says city coun- cilman Rafael Garcia, a reform advocate. Lima is far from alone among Latin American cities with exas- perating traffic congestion and near-complete gridlock on major thoroughfares. But unlike in Bogota, Colombia, Sao Paolo, Brazil, or even Mexico City, it is not a surge in pri- vate passenger vehicles that is caus- ing Lima’s traffic nightmares. Ve- hicle ownership is low; four in five commuters use public transit. The problem: chronic misman- agement and corruption dating back two decades. And it’s not just the belching buses but also Lima’s quar- ter-million taxis, half of them unreg- istered, all of them unregulated. That’s one taxi for every 18 Lima inhabitants. Mayor Susana Villaran blames the cabs for more than 70 percent of traffic jams. Taxi drivers, like bus drivers, will stop anywhere. And forget meters. Cab fare is negotiated on entry.

The path toward possible new sanctions also quickly confronted a huge roadblock as Iranian ally Russia said it would oppose any new measures in the U.N. Security Council and rejected any military options as risking “grave conse- quences” to global security. The sharp push back reflects the increasing difficulties for Western leaders to find ways to rattle Iran. So far, four rounds of U.N. sanc- tions have apparently failed to stop secret nuclear tests that brought Iran to the brink of mastering the process for atomic weapons, ac- cording to a U.N. watchdog agency report released Tuesday. Iran claims the evidence in the report is baseless and says its nu- clear program is only for energy and research. The two opposing narratives where on vivid display Wednes- day. In a speech broadcast live on Iranian TV, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed that Iran won’t retreat “one iota” from its nuclear ambitions, which include the process to enrich uranium. About the same time in Paris, France’s Foreign Minister Alain Ju- ppe said the world cannot accept a nuclear-armed Iran and pledged that France would support boost- ing sanctions to an “unprecedent- ed scale” if Iran stonewalls inves- tigations. Israel, meanwhile, called on the world to stop Iran’s nuclear program, but did not repeat its warnings of a military option. “There is lots of talk about how to slap new punishments on Iran,” said Patrick Clawson, deputy di- rector of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “Where it would hurt is oil. That, however, is a tough call with the world econo- my teetering.” Iran’s oil exports are undoubt- edly the Islamic Republic’s most vulnerable spot as its key revenue source, but also represent a possi- ble no-go zone for new sanctions.

GUANTANAMO BAY NA-VAL BASE, Cuba — Guards get combat pay, just like troops in Af-ghanistan, without the risk of be-ing blown up. Some commanders get to bring their families to this war-on-terror deployment. And each captive gets $38.45 worth of food a day.
